AEA REPORTS FAA PROPOSAL WILL ALLOW PART 135 OPERATORS TO UPGRADE NAV DATABASES

Sun, 01/01/2012 - 12:00 admin

The FAA proposes to amend the maintenance regulations by removing from the preventive maintenance category the task of updating databases used in self-contained, front-panel or pedestal-mounted navigation equipment. This change would allow pilots who operate certificated aircraft to update the specified databases and eliminate the requirement for certificated mechanics or repair stations to perform the update.
