The
topics discussed here all focused on how a maintenance department may be setup
and operated in an airline. The main focus has been on flight operations
operating under Part 121. Although all the flight operations under the various
parts are very similar, each Part has specific requirements and some that are recommended.
Areas discussed included aircraft management of aircraft inspection
requirements that included aircraft maintenance and responsibilities, continuing
airworthiness requirements, maintenance program requirements, James Reasons

events, and the certification of personnel.
Everything
discussed barely scratches the surface of what the FAA requires to operate an
aircraft in the United States. There are Advisory Circulars that directly
impact how an air carrier ensures compliance with the FAA. The CFR Title 14
Parts 39, 43, 65, 91, 119, 121, and 135 are just a start to how to properly
run, maintain, and ensure aircraft airworthiness of the air carriers aircraft.
There are even the occasional Airworthiness Directive thrown in on the spot to
address sudden issues identified by the FAA. All of this is not easy to follow
at times, but that is why the FAA has decided what is required. So long as everything
is done in accordance with the FAAs desires, then the proper people will be in
place to verify compliance with everything mentioned.
