The AEA Delegate program is growing and after three successful Delegates Conferences at the last three conventions we’re expanding the concept to our Regional Meetings in Wichita and Calgary. We plan to request a level of acceptance for this training from the FAA and TCCA so that just like the rest of AEA’s training this will count toward your recurrency requirements.
This is an important next step in developing the support and resources for anyone involved in aircraft certification and delegations. Through training, mentorship and recurrency programs, AEA continues to put every effort towards serving the aerospace community. Come and join us for these inaugural delegate seminars at AEA Regionals! Whether you are a delegate or not, whether you have avionics, structural, powerplant, flight test or any other specialty, this is for you. To help build the community, to provide education and learning opportunities and to connect. |
