Webinar
The End of Supervised Maintenance?

Tuesday, January 8, 2025, 7 p.m. CST

Presenter: Mike Busch

On September 3, 2024, the FAA's Rulemaking Law Division issued a legal interpretation that, if allowed to stand as the agency's position, could have a devastating impact on the ability of aircraft owners and apprentice mechanics to perform maintenance on certificated aircraft under the supervision of an A&P mechanic. Known as the "Moss Interpretation," it would eviscerate the requirement of 14 CFR 43.3(d) that the supervising mechanic "personally observe the work to the extent necessary to ensure it is done properly," and would instead require in-person supervision of every moment of the work from start to finish. In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA explains why this new interpretation would make owner-performed maintenance (including owner-assisted annuals) infeasible, and would make it impossible for aspiring A&Ps to gain the FAA-mandated 30 months of practical experience through apprenticeship. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
