accordance with Sec. 171.159.

    (2) A proposed procedure for operating the facility.

    (3) A proposed maintenance organization and maintenance manual that 

meets the requirement of Sec. 171.161.

    (4) A statement of intention to meet the requirements of this 

subpart.

    (5) A showing that the facility has an acceptable level of 

operational reliability and an acceptable standard of performance.

showing compliance with this paragraph.

    (b) After the Federal Aviation Administration inspects and evaluates 

the facility, it advises the owner of the results and of any required 

changes in the facility or the maintenance manual or maintenance 

organization. The owner must then correct the deficiencies, if any, and 

operate the facility for an in-service evaluation by the Federal 

Aviation Administration.
