Each year at the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) convention and trade show, Aero-TV is granted unprecedented access to Paula Derks, the president and CEO of the organization.
This year, Derks spoke with Aero-News Network Editor-in-Chief and CEO, Jim Campbell, about the 60th anniversary of the organization, and a host of other topics related to aircraft electronics.
In Part 1 of our interview, Derks give a brief history of the association, and how it has grown and changed over the past six decades.
She also discusses the association's role in educating the aviation industry about the need to get equipped for ADS-B by the January 1, 2020 deadline, and the organizations stance on the proposal to privatize Air Traffic Control.
