* Incidents and deviations related to quality and safety
escapes

negotiate service level agreements that identify all the
required standards expected in support of the work to be
performed. Pre- and post-check assessments to include
any quality escapes are investigated for root cause and
corrected. The FAA oversees the effectiveness of these
programs and, based on monthly reports required by
Part 121.368, has a picture of the carrier's performance
in this area.
These programs alone employ hundreds of people
whose main function is to approve use of maintenance
providers, do continued surveillance, report deviations
and assure corrective action. It makes no difference
whether the maintenance is domestic or foreign.

Contractor Standards
All Part 121 air carriers have maintenance provider
standards. Whether foreign or domestic, the same provisions apply. Maintenance providers have to provide
the following:
Adequate personnel - Quantitative and qualitative
considerations are in play - there has to be enough personnel having the adequate skills. Quality organizations
assess level of experience in comparison to the fleet type
and maintenance schedule requirements of the carrier.
Adequacy of organization is assessed. Supervision and
inspection resources used by the provider are evaluated against the context of the work that is anticipated.
Adequate facility - Hangar facilities' size and organization is important. A large MRO houses many aircraft
of many types. Are they protected from fire or other
hazards? Do personnel have adequate protections from
environmental hazards? How well is it maintained? Is
it efficient and provide adequate lighting and access?
Availability of tooling - Adequate tooling must be
demonstrated. How the tools are used and maintained

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS)
SMS has now been incorporated into the air carrier's
tool kit where hazard identification supporting aircraft
safety is a key part of safety oversight. Hazards most
under scrutiny by safety and quality surveillance include:
* Management and accomplishment of required inspections (an inspection of specific items the operator
determined to be flight critical)
* Compliance to task requirements of the aircraft
inspection program
