Architecture of an Alteration

The Aircraft Electronics Association has both a new member benefit and a solution for the repair station training program requirements of the future.

The first in a series of computer-based training (CBT) programs, Architecture of an Alteration was recently shipped to AEA member repair stations free of charge. Nothing comes closer to recreating the invaluable classroom/instructor experience than AEA’s new interactive CBT programs. "These programs help fulfill the AEA’s mission to provide training that is essential to repair station operations while satisfying any FAA training requirements," said Mike Adamson, AEA’s Director of Training and Education.

With Architecture of an Alteration, users—at their convenience—will be able to listen to and view a presentation on the "top-down analysis" required when evaluating aircraft alterations. The hour-long seminar takes the user through the certification basis for airframes and helps distinguish between major and minor and acceptable and approved.

Architecture of an Alteration arms the user with the resources to identify the proper alteration approval procedures and proper documentation procedures. Upon completion of the program, users can link to the AEA website to test their understanding of the material, read any frequently asked questions and stay on top of any new regulatory developments.

Look for these CBT programs available in 2005:

• "Wiring Inspection"
• "Flight Manual Supplements"
• "Instructions for Continued Airworthiness"
• "Antenna Installations"
