US, Singapore sign milestone maintenance agreement
The US FAA and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) inked a milestone Maintenance Implementation Procedures (MIP) maintenance agreement, which is designed to “strengthen aviation safety while reducing the cost of inspections on repair work,” FAA administrator Michael Huerta said. The agreement is the first of its kind in Asia and will set the standard for future agreements, FAA said. “The agreement builds on the 2004 US-Singapore Bilateral Safety Agreement, which has benefitted both countries by saving time and reducing costs in aircraft design and manufacturing. The MIP will also reduce costs by allowing the reciprocal acceptance of Singapore and the US surveillance of maintenance work,” FAA said. <br/>
