Small Jet Charter

The latest in charter news.

In response to a directive contained in the Vision 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that seeks to apply new security requirements to all aircraft repair stations certificated under part 145 of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. The proposed regulations would require all domestic and foreign part 145 repair stations to adopt and implement a standard security program and to comply with security directives issued by the TSA in order to safeguard the security of the aircraft and components located at the station, the maintenance and repair work performed there, as well as the repair station’s facilities. The rule also proposes to clarify the scope of TSA’s existing inspection program and to require regulated parties to allow TSA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials to enter, inspect and test property, facilities and records relevant to repair stations.

UPDATED: The deadline for comments on the TSA proposal has been extended until February 18, 2010.
