Each year at the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) convention and trade show, Aero-TV is granted unprecedented access to Paula Derks, the president and CEO of the organization.
In Part 2 of our interview, Derks spoke with Aero-News Network Editor-in-Chief and CEO, Jim Campbell, about the association’s educational opportunities for individual avionics technicians and the role of women in the avionics industry. Then, she discusses the regulatory environment as it pertains to the avionics industry. She said that in some regards, some of the issues have not changed in the 60 years the organization has been in existence.
But, she says, there has, in her view, been a culture change at the FAA. "They realize they do not have the resources they need, and at times the manpower they need, to regulate and oversee this entire industry."
Aero-TV is a production of the Internationally syndicated Aero-News Network. Seen worldwide by hundreds of thousands of aviators and aviation adherents, ANN's Aero-TV has produced over 3000 aviation and feature programs, including over 1000 episodes of our daily aviation news program, AIRBORNE UNLIMITED, hosted by Bri Cross, Laura Hutson, and Christopher C. Odom. Just starting its third decade, parent company Aero-News Network, has the most aggressive and intensive editorial profile of any aviation news organization and has published over 350,000 news and feature stories since its inception -- having pioneered the online 24/7 aviation new-media model that so many have emulated.
