AEA Recognizes Members for Training Commitment
Avionics Training Excellence Award Presented to 54 AEA Member Companies

LEE'S SUMMIT, MO., April 18, 2013 -- The Aircraft Electronics Association today announced the recipients of the annual Avionics Training Excellence Award, which recognizes AEA members for their total commitment to training as evidenced by participation in AEA-approved training. A total of 54 member companies received the 2012 AEA Avionics Training Excellence Award.

Mike Adamson, AEA vice president of member programs and education, said AEA-certified repair station members are trained far beyond the federal requirements and demonstrate a commitment to training few other industries can match.

"We see consistent demand for our classroom, convention and online training products and services," Adamson said. "Members rely on the association as the foundation of their approved training programs. The AEA develops high-quality, cost-effective regulatory and technical training for the general aviation aircraft electronics community to meet and exceed the federal requirements."

For a member company to be eligible for the Avionics Training Excellence Award, all of its technicians must have completed at least one AEA-approved training event in the previous year, which includes the AEA International Convention & Trade Show; AEA Regional Meetings; Avionics News magazine technical training exam; AEA computer-based training; original equipment manufacturer (OEM) training from AEA associate member companies; and AEA partnership training.
