Aviation Safety: FAA Oversight of Repair Stations Needs Improvement

  Premium   Download PDF Now (95 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 24, 1997
Report No. RCED-98-21
Subject
Summary:

Half of the work involved in maintaining and repairing U.S. commercial aircraft is done by independent repair stations. Records indicate that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is meeting its goal of inspecting repair stations at least once each year, but FAA cannot document how well it has followed up to ensure that the deficiencies found during inspections are corrected. FAA does not tell its inspectors what documentation to keep, and the resulting information gaps undermine the agency's ability to determine how will its inspections are working and to identify and react to trends. These documentation gaps are particularly important because FAA is spending more than $30 million to develop a reporting system that will use the documentation to make inspection decisions, such as where to apply the agency's inspection resources to address those areas that pose the greatest risk to aviation safety.
