§ 147.43
§ 147.43
Inspection.
The Administrator may, at any time,
inspect an aviation maintenance tech-
nician school to determine its compli-
ance with this part. Such an inspection
is normally made once each six months
to determine if the school continues to
meet the requirements under which it
was originally certificated. After such
an inspection is made, the school is no-
tified, in writing, of any deficiencies
found during the inspection. Other in-
formal inspections may be made from
time to time.
§ 147.45
Advertising.
(a) A certificated aviation mainte-
nance technician school may not make
any statement relating to itself that is
false or is designed to mislead any per-
son considering enrollment therein.
(b) Whenever an aviation mainte-
nance technician school indicates in
advertising that it is a certificated
school, it shall clearly distinguish be-
tween its approved courses and those
that are not approved.
