A highpoint for the recently concluded Aircraft
Electronics Association Annual Convention and Trade Show was the
introduction of the annual Avionics Training Excellence award. The
award recognizes AEA members for their commitment to training
excellence as evidenced by participation in AEA sponsored learning
events. Pilots and aircraft owners have no easy way of knowing
about a repair station's dedication to technician training. With a
total technician commitment and by displaying the Avionics Training
Excellence award, AEA repair stations can demonstrate their
dedication to professional career development and assure their
customers of a higher level of service.
As the preferred provider of avionics training for government
certified repair stations, AEA offers comprehensive programs to
cover everything from the basics to advanced instruction. Whether
training is received at an AEA meeting, through an AEA associate
member (OEM factory training), or through an AEA partner such as
FlightSafety, repair stations are demonstrating a commitment to a
higher level of service. With 100 percent of an eligible company's
technicians receiving some form of AEA training the company will be
recognized as an Avionics Training Excellence award winner.
To qualify, a company must submit a completed Application for
Recognition form and meet the following criteria:
- Be an AEA Regular Member (Part 145 Certified Station) in active
status
- Provide proof of participation in an AEA-recognized training
event for each technician from January to December of year
prior to application deadline
AEA recognized training events include:
-
Approved AEA Convention programs
- Approved AEA Regional Meeting programs
- OEM Training
- Partnership Training (either FlightSafety or apprentice
programs)
- Avionics News Technical Training Exam
AEA will accept Applications for Recognition until February 1,
2004 for training received in 2003. Awards will be presented during
AEA's 47th Annual Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nev.,
March 30 to April 1, 2004. Application for Recognition forms will
be available on www.aea.net beginning
June 1, 2003. The Aircraft Electronics Association represents
nearly 1,100 aviation businesses, including repair stations that
specialize in maintenance, repair and installation of avionics and
electronic systems in general aviation aircraft.
