- NBAA Releases Guidance on Proposed Security Rule for Aircraft Repair Stations
- November 20, 2009
Earlier this week, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) which would affect aircraft repair stations certificated under FAR Part 145. The proposed regulations would establish requirements for repair stations to adopt and implement a standard security program and to comply with security directives issued by the TSA. The proposed regulations would also provide procedures for the TSA to notify repair stations of any deficiencies in their security programs, and to determine whether a particular repair station presents an immediate risk to security. The TSA has provided 60 days for public comments on the proposal, which are due by January 19, 2010. View NBAA’s analysis of the proposed rule. - NBAA Quick Turns now part of NBAA Business Aviation Insider
