Since 2003, we have consistently found that FAA's oversight of aircraft repair facilities is not robust enough to ensure that outsourced repairs meet FAA standards, and we have made numerous recommendations aimed at improving this oversight. Today, the speaker will focus on two key concerns: (1) significant weaknesses we have identified with FAA's oversight and (2) actions needed to improve safety oversight and security at repair stations. In summary, safety oversight and security of repair stations cannot be ensured in part because FAA does not know where critical outsourced repairs are being performed--including both certificated and non-certificated facilities. Instead, it relies heavily on air carriers oversight of repair stations--even air carriers with identified quality assurance problems. Given these weaknesses, a number of actions, including implementing our past recommendations, are needed to improve the safety oversight and security of repair stations.
