Basic Airport Safety and Operations Specialist (ASOS) Programs
Held In Chicago, Advanced In Memphis
The American Association of Airport
Executives (AAAE) and the FAA will present the Basic Airport Safety
and Operations Specialist (ASOS) School June 27-30 in Chicago,
Illinois.
ASOS schools specifically are tailored for airport personnel
responsible for conducting and maintaining the self-inspection
programs of public-use and military shared-use airfields throughout
the United States. They have become a regular/recurring training
program for operations personnel. More than 8,000 public-use and
DOD/military airport operations and safety personnel have attended
these schools since 1990.
Over the past 18 months, there have been several proposed or
implemented changes to key FAA Advisory Circulars affecting
compliance with FAR Part 139. Learn about these changes and discuss
the rationale for them with FAA officials. The Basic ASOS School
will outline how airports can take proactive steps to implement
these new practices and clarify any issues during the
transition.
The faculty will include FAA
headquarters and regional personnel, officials from the airport
community, airline pilots and others knowledgeable of airport
operations and safety matters. This school is one of several
options available to airport operators to comply with 139.303
(c-e). These professional ASOS schools also provide a networking
platform for airport operators to meet and exchange ideas to
continue to make our nation’s airports safer and
operationally efficient.
All sessions will take place at the Embassy Suites
O’Hare/Rosemont. Sessions will begin each day at 8 a.m.
on Monday, June 28, and end at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 30.
Registration fees include the welcome reception, three continental
breakfasts, three lunches, coffee breaks and all handouts. Dress is
business casual (no ties). Confirmation letters will be e-mailed to
attendees.
In addition, an Advanced ASOS School tentatively is scheduled
for October 17-20, 2010, in Memphis, Tennessee. Once hotel details
have been finalized, registration information for these schools
will be available approximately three months prior to the meeting
dates. The Basic ASOS Schools will last three full days, while the
Advanced ASOS School will last two and one half days.
