Agenda
| 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. | Introduction in the purpose of the designee conference Presented by Ric Peri, AEA vice president of government & industry affairs and Kevin Bruce, AEA regulatory consultant for Canada |
| 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. | This is an open dialog with the FAA and TCCA on topics of interest to the certification industry. The FAA will provide an update on the ODA Office, the role it plays with individual designees, and an update on the AIR reorganization. Presented by Scott Geddie, policy and oversight section manager, FAA |
| 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. | Lunch and Learn: One of the underlying challenges for any small business is liability insurance. This session will address liability insurance for designees and other insurance topics. Presented by Kyle P. White, aviation practice leader, Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC |
| 12:30 p.m. - 2 p.m. | The change product rule (21.101) is an internationally harmonized standard. However, for the past two decades, the change product rule has been misinterpreted and underutilized in the design and certification of avionics installations. This session will offer a thorough review of the history, regulations and guidance of this fundamental regulation. Presented by Ric Peri, AEA vice president of government & industry affairs |
| 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. | Part 23, amendment 64 training. The most thorough review of a certification standard took place between 2008 and 2016 with the review and publication of a revision of airworthiness standards for normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter aircraft. While simple in design, the application of the revision, amendment 64, has proven to be excessively complex. This session will provide an understanding of amendment 64, the use of consensus standards, and the application of the regulation for future projects. Presented by Kevin Bruce, AEA regulatory consultant for Canada |
The FAA and TCCA will be represented at the conference and Q & A time is scheduled. Attendees will have the opportunity to highlight the challenges faced in the certification process and work toward restoring trust and promoting consistency in the delegate system.
