First online IA renewal
program to provide FAA-approved training
Aircraft Maintenance Technology (AMT) magazine has announced it
will offer the first-of-its-kind online Virtual IA Renewal/AMT
Awards Seminar beginning October 2004. A&P and IA technicians
will be able to log onto AMT's Web site and participate in the IA
renewal seminar, giving thousands of technicians around the world
the ability to receive FAA-approved training while reducing their
burden of travel, expenses, and time.
"Starting in October, technicians can begin to work on their IA
renewal credits throughout the year working at their own pace on
any computer with Internet access," says AMT magazine Publisher
Greg Napert. "The concept is simple; the idea is to mimic the
already popular regional IA seminars in a virtual online
environment."
The FAA-approved web-based seminar will consist of slide
presentations with streaming audio. Unlike live presentations,
technicians may view the online seminar program at their leisure
and review the presentation as often as needed for a full year.
Technicians who complete eight seminar hours will be eligible
for IA renewal as long as two hours of FAA regulatory seminars are
taken, which will also be available with the virtual program. In
addition, credits will be applicable toward the FAA AMT Awards
Program.
"This will open the door for recurrency training for mechanics
who didn't previously have access to the live seminars," adds
Napert. "Technicians should still attend live seminars where
possible, and we encourage that. This is an opportunity to
supplement those live presentations with our online seminars and
offers a unique opportunity for manufacturers, aftermarket
suppliers, parts and accessory suppliers, service providers, and
others to enhance delivery of information to aircraft maintenance
personnel."
