TAMC Submits Comments on FAA Drug Testing Requirements at Foreign MROs
In comments submitted to the FAA today, the TAMC called for a single standard for drug testing programs for both foreign and domestic repair stations. The TAMC is recommending that all authorized individuals that perform safety-sensitive maintenance on commercial carriers at both foreign and domestic repair stations be subject to a single standard of drug and alcohol testing.
“The TAMC has taken the position that in order to maintain consistent safety standards in a global economy and regardless of where safety-sensitive maintenance functions are performed, a single standard of aviation maintenance safety must be achieved,” said Chris Moore, chairman of TAMC, in the comments.
“If we in the United States believe that certain drugs and the use of alcohol are a threat to aviation safety, we must ensure that anyone performing safety-sensitive maintenance is held to the same standards,” said Moore.
