Travis: Think it through, dude and please consider:
1. Professionals go to Official sources for their information.
2. As the pilot, YOU are ultimately responsible for everything.
3. Yes, other posters are correct; the quality of Mx work in Asia, FAA-Certified or not, is all over the map - but the Ultimate Responsibility remains with you.
4. Foreign provided (FAA) Mx requirements are
exactly the same as those in the U.S. If the shop looks OK to you, it might be. If it looks bad, it probably is.
5. Refer back to item #2. You alone are accountable. And You have your butt on that airplane on a regular basis. Are You satisfied?
6. Need more detail? Contact any FAA office, world wide and they will provide more details and lists of certificated shops in China or elsewhere.
7. To repeat a couple from above, if you are driving an N-registered airplane, FAA mx standards apply, world-wide. Period!!
