FAA Part 145 Repair Station

What Is an FAA Part 145 Repair Station?

An FAA Part 145 repair station is a maintenance organization certificated under Title 14 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 145. To earn and keep the certificate, the organization must demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration that its housing and facilities, equipment, personnel qualifications, technical data, procedures, and quality system meet regulatory requirements. The FAA issues an Air Agency Certificate that lists the station's ratings — the classes of articles it is authorized to maintain.

QTC's FAA Air Agency Certificate

Why FAA Certification Matters When Choosing a Repair Station

For airline quality departments and procurement teams, Part 145 certification is the baseline qualification for sourcing component repair. It means the repair will be performed by trained personnel to accepted procedures, that the work and parts are traceable, and that the unit is released with the proper airworthiness documentation. Pairing that certification with QTC's OEM engineering background gives operators both regulatory assurance and deep technical capability.
