Frequently Asked Questions

What is an FAA Part 145 repair station?

An FAA Part 145 certificated repair station is an organization authorized by the FAA to perform aircraft maintenance, alteration, or inspection. Each station holds specific ratings (Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, Radio, Instrument, or Accessory) that define the work it can legally perform.

How do I choose an aircraft maintenance shop in Illinois?

Match the shop's FAA ratings to the work you need. For airframe and engine work, look for Airframe and Powerplant ratings. For avionics, look for Radio and Instrument ratings. Use the rating filters above to narrow the list to shops authorized for your job.

What's the difference between an A&P mechanic and a repair station?

An A&P mechanic is an individual FAA-certificated technician with Airframe and Powerplant ratings. A repair station is an FAA-certified organization that operates under stricter oversight, holds its own quality and inspection systems, and can be rated for specialized work that an individual mechanic cannot perform alone.

Are all Illinois aircraft mechanics required to be FAA-certified?

Anyone performing maintenance on a certified aircraft for hire must be either an FAA-certified A&P mechanic or work under the umbrella of an FAA-certificated repair station. Aircraft owners can perform certain preventive maintenance on their own aircraft under FAR 43 Appendix A.

How can shops claim their listing?

Each shop page has a "Claim this listing" link near the top of its detail page. Claiming is free and lets shop operators verify and enrich their info. A paid premium tier with priority placement and quote forwarding is in development.
