Bill > S1256

This bill, the Global Aircraft Maintenance Safety Improvement Act, amends Title 49 of the United States Code to require certain air carriers to provide reports on heavy maintenance work performed on aircraft outside the United States. It also requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to analyze this data to detect safety issues and take appropriate actions. Additionally, the bill establishes minimum qualifications for mechanics and personnel approving aircraft for return to service at repair stations located outside the U.S. The bill also restricts FAA international travel until a final rule is published regarding alcohol and drug testing and background checks for employees at these foreign repair stations, with some exceptions for safety inspections and matters vital to national interests.
