NATA, in cooperation with its Maintenance Committee, is equipping new part 145 certificate applicants for success with “Guidance for Initial Applications for Repair Station Certificates.” This new resource was developed under the premise that the likelihood of an application’s prompt handling and ultimate success is improved by an applicant’s thorough understanding of the FAA’s internal and external systems and processes.

NATA members can log in to the portal and access the document here. (login required)

The Guidance for Initial Applications for Repair Station Certificates provides insight into:

  • The design, purpose, and steps involved in Certification Services Oversight Process (CSOP) and Safety Assurance System (SAS) for certification project management.
  • The three phases of the FAA repair station application process.
  • FAA’s management of applications.
  • The process for applying directly to a FSDO instead of using the SAS portal.
  • Descriptions of application forms applicable to part 145 repair stations.
  • Useful FAA resources and links for new repair stations.
