Maintenance on aircraft

Read the official rule

Aircraft maintenance can only be performed by certified organizations or qualified personnel. These entities must receive approval from the FOCA, which verifies their compliance with legal standards following a thorough inspection. Once approved, they undergo routine audits to ensure ongoing compliance with safety and operational requirements.

Key points

  • Only certified organizations and personnel can perform aircraft maintenance.
  • FOCA grants approvals after a detailed inspection process.
  • Maintenance organizations must report any changes that might affect their approval status.
