- What is an Inspection Authorization (IA) and who needs one?
- An Inspection Authorization (IA) is an FAA-granted privilege held by experienced A&P mechanics that lets them perform annual inspections, sign off on major repairs, and approve aircraft for return to service. Aircraft owners need an IA to perform annual inspections (FAR 91.409). IAs must maintain currency and renew every two years.
- How often does the FAA renew IA designations?
- The FAA renews IA designations every two years, by March 31 of odd-numbered years. IAs must demonstrate continued currency through inspections performed, training completed, or specific FAA-approved activities. AviatorDB lists only currently-active IAs.
