Federal Communication
Commission and electronic technician certification examinations can
now be administered by Embry-Riddle staff.
Neill Fulbright and Glen Travis of the university's Avionics
Line Maintenance program have been designated by the Electronics
Technicians Association International (ETAI) to handle FCC and ETAI
certifications.
The FCC certification includes all nine aviation elements.
Examples are: General Radiotelephone Operator license, Global
Marine Distress and Safety Systems Maintainer license, Marine Radio
Operator permit, Marine Radiotelegraph Operators certificate, and
Radar Endorsement.
The ETAI Specialty
certifications include a basic electronics apprentice examination
for persons with less than two years field experience. There are
also certifications at the Journeyman level available in avionics,
biomedical, consumer, telecommunication and wireless electronics.
Senior and Master level awards are for those who complete
certification in more than one area.
"The Avionics Line Maintenance program provides airframe and
powerplant technicians actual hands-on training in a 400-plus hour
curriculum," said Fred Mirgle, manager of the Aircraft Maintenance
and Technology department at Embry-Riddle. "The subject areas
involve all phases of wiring, system dynamics and troubleshooting
of general aviation, corporate and air transport aircraft."
