IA Renewal Seminars -
New at the NW Aviation Conference

National industry and government experts are traveling to Puyallup to participate in the Maintenance Seminars at the Northwest Aviation Conference & Trade Show. For just the cost of gate admission, mechanics can choose from a selection of topics. This program is available now for registration and seminars are subject to FAA approval.


Certificates

Pilots, flight instructors and mechanics may earn credit for attending selected seminars and workshops at the Northwest Aviation Conference.

A certificate of completion will be produced to document participation in the Maintenance Workshops and the Aviation Seminars.

This certificate not only provides documentation to meet specific FAA requirements but provides a record which you may wish to submit when you apply for or renew your aircraft insurance.

While there is no specific offer or guarantee of a reduced insurance rate, participation in safety training is viewed as a proactive activity by insurance companies.

As you attend sessions in the Maintenance series, be sure to sign in, and record your conference registration number (shown on your name tag).

This information will be used to issue a certificate. The moderator in each session will be circulating the sign in sheet. It is your responsibility to sign in during each session.

Did you know?

Your inspection authorization is now renewable every two years. However, the only thing that has changed is the two year duration of your certificate.All of the other requirements remain in place, specifically; FAR Parts 65.91(C)(4) & 65.93

As many there is a potential trap for the IA who is doing only limited activity. If you don't meet all the normal requirements by March 31 of 2009, you can't act as an IA as of April 1, 2009, even if you didn't have to prove to the FAA that you met all of the normal requirements.
