Feam Aero recently earned an FAA Class 2 composite construction and Class 4 all-metal Part 145 repair station authorization, enabling the line maintenance provider to support all airframe types weighing above 12,500 pounds (gross takeoff weight). These expanded capabilities will provide air operators in the Florida region with a broader range of options and enhanced services at Feam Aero's main maintenance facility at Miami International Airport, the company said.
These airframe ratings are granted to repair stations for conducting maintenance and alterations on airframes, airframe structures, landing gear, and aircraft systems. They are crucial for performing aircraft line or hangar maintenance, as well as for major repairs and alterations.
Feam Aero president Cam Murphy credited the work of Alison McHugh, v-p of quality and safety, and Frank Valenzano, director of quality, along with their teams for obtaining the approvals.
