AEA and NATA Announce Schedules
As reported by the association in earlier
correspondence to members and the maintenance community, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently approved a proposal
offered by the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) and
the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) to jointly sponsor
regional meetings between FAA headquarters, FAA regional offices,
Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs) and FAR Part 145
certificated repair stations to review the final Advisory Circular
(AC) on implementing the new Part 145 regulations to be published
in the spring of 2003. The purpose of the meetings will be for FAA
headquarters to present and explain the contents of the Part 145 AC
so misinterpretations between repair stations and FAA regional
offices and FSDOs will be minimized.
The
association is pleased to announce that these meetings have been
expanded from half-day to full-day events so that the FAA can also
provide a session discussing the ongoing field approval process to
attendees.
These meetings are free-of-charge and open to all individuals
interested in attending. The FAA will also be strongly encouraging
regional offices and FSDOs to attend the meeting within their
region.
The first regional meeting will be held in conjunction with
AEA’s annual convention on April 22 in
Orlando (FL). Details about this meeting can be obtained by
visiting AEA’s Web site. The second regional meeting will be
held directly after NATA’s convention on Friday, May
16, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas
(NV).
