Enforcement Delay for Overseas Repair Stations
If you run or manage a certificated aircraft repair station located outside the United States, the FAA will not impose penalties for failing to follow the new drug and alcohol testing rule until March 20, 2025. This gives affected businesses extra time to come into compliance without facing enforcement action before that date.
