They may decide on issuance of the original certificates. They evaluate and decide upon proposals to change the authorized programs of the organizations. They continuously monitor the activities of organizations to determine whether they are following their authorized program, Federal regulations, and good safety practices.

FG-13 assignments are characterized by one or more of the following:
1. Commercially operated aircraft or and the complex avionics equipment associated with such
aircraft;
2. A variety of maintenance operations with diverse types of aircraft; or
