FAA regs
Are actually pretty simple to understand and that is why they are easy to comply with, Flight Safety is number one, for mechanics( technicians ) there are only a couple of ratings called : airmen other than flight crew.
the are
parachute rigger
repairman
airframe
power-plant
airframe and power-plant including ( IA ) inspection authorization and ( DME ) which is designated mechanic examiner
the whole of flight safety is the responsibility of those representatives of the Administrator. that's all there is.
the FAA doesn't supervise us, we do, the IAs do the major repair and annual inspections and the DMEs make little As and Ps, simple and it works just fine.
so come down here and tell the DME why you deserve a rating.
