Services for crewed AAM & UAM aircraft
Maintenance, inspection, pilot, training, and consulting services for crewed advanced air mobility aircraft — eVTOL, eSTOL, and urban air mobility platforms. Work on these aircraft demands full crewed-aircraft certification, which is distinct from the Part 107 credentials used for drones.
Certifications required
Crewed AAM/UAM aircraft carry people, so maintenance and operations are held to full FAA crewed-aircraft standards. Providers in this category should hold the appropriate credentials below.
FAA A&P Mechanic Certificate
Airframe & Powerplant certification (14 CFR Part 65) is the baseline for performing and returning maintenance to service on crewed aircraft.
Inspection Authorization (IA)
Required to conduct annual inspections and approve major repairs and alterations for return to service.
FAA Part 145 Repair Station
Facilities performing MRO on crewed aircraft should operate under a certificated repair station with appropriate ratings.
Type-rated pilots & OEM training
Flight, ferry, and test operations require type-rated pilots plus manufacturer-specific type and powertrain training for the platform.
FAA Part 107 (remote pilot) credentials do NOT authorize work on crewed AAM/UAM aircraft. Drone/UAV service providers should list under UAV / RPA Services instead.
