Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 49, United States Code, to require certain air carriers to provide reports with respect to maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Global Aircraft Maintenance Safety Improvement Act, aims to enhance oversight and safety standards for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul work performed by U.S. air carriers, both domestically and at repair stations located outside the United States. The key provisions include requiring U.S. air carriers to report annually on heavy maintenance work done abroad, prohibiting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from approving new repair station applications from countries classified as "Category 2" under the International Aviation Safety Assessment program, and establishing minimum qualifications for mechanics and others working on U.S. registered aircraft at covered repair stations. The bill also directs the FAA to convene a working group to review and make recommendations for strengthening oversight of foreign repair stations, and restricts international travel by FAA employees until alcohol and drug testing and background check requirements are implemented for certain repair station personnel.
