The FAA has broad oversight responsibilities in diverse areas of aviation, and has been granted the authority of enforcement, similar to other agencies such as the
FDA, FTC, ATF, IRS, and others.
The FAA regulates and enforces design, manufacturing, operations, training, certification, maintenance, and numerous other sectors of aviation, including
overseas and space operations.
THIS WEBSITE : The focus of this website is the Maintenance “MRO” sector only, and matters pertaining to the FAA’s “Flight Standards Service” and “145” repair stations.
It is equally important to highlight the good as it is to expose the bad. When submitting a negative disclosure, you must also tell us about at least one positive experience, and preferably two.
Our focus is on People and Personal accountability to expose the bad and to appreciate the good. For matters of regulations and policy consider ARSA.org

In 2013, the US Congress had this to say about the FAA inspectors in Dallas:
Rep. James Oberstar, Chairman of the House Transportation committee said:
“… the congressional investigation shows a systematic breakdown in the FAA culture, resulting in misfeasance, malfeasance, bordering on corruption.”
In 2017, following a re-structuring, an FAA executive overseeing all FAA inspectors issued a press release, and had this to say about his own organization:
“As I have said many times to our employees, our structural changes are important.... But structural change won’t do much for us without the essential cultural changes at both the individual and organizational levels.” |
