Organized under the purview of the Vice President for Technical Services, the Maintenance Council meets in person three times per year, with the third meeting occurring in conjunction with the Operations and Safety Councils. The joint meeting features top-level executives from the FAA and offers the opportunity for members to address issues that cut across all three Technical Services Councils.
Led by an elected Chair and Vice Chair from NACA members, the Maintenance Council consists of the management of each member’s maintenance organization. The Chair serves a one-year term and is succeeded by the Vice Chair. This group receives routine e-mail distributions concerning maintenance activities issued by FAA such as Airworthiness Directives (ADs), INFOs, SAFOs, and handbook changes, among other issues. Representation on this group can be as large or small as each member requests.
