What Does the New FAA Law Mean for You?

Now that Congress finally enacted a multiyear FAA reauthorization bill, what does it mean for you?

The legislation, which authorizes $15.9 billion annually for the agency through 2015, strikes the right balance between safety, oversight, and operational freedom for repair stations.

ARSA has gone through every line of the new law and pulled out what it believes could have the most impact on your company.
