Executive SummaryNBAA Aviation Maintenance Committee Professional

Development White Paper

An initiative offered by the NBAA Training/Advanced Education Sub-committee

NBAA Maintenance SubcommitteeTraining/Advanced Education Vision

Inspire a national effort, raising the educational and professional bar for all aviationtechnicians through the creation of a new and higher certificated category. The

contemporary certification is to be granted by a professional aviation industry coalitionwith a long term goal of FAA certification.

“AMTE”(Aviation Maintenance Technical Engineer)

Combining the A&P, IA and Avionics skill sets with a required ten year contiguousexperience history composed of any combination of years of service in any rated capacityfollowing the award of all certificates, licenses and ratings. Currently the qualification forAvionics technician’s industry certification would be the FCC (Federal CommunicationsAvionics technician’s industry certification would be the FCC (Federal CommunicationsCommission) GROL (General Radiotelephone Operators License). In the near future thatqualification will be enhanced by an FAA certificated Avionics rating. If a technician heldor attained an FCC GROL that would remain as is, distinct to the privileges of the FCC

license in the FCC CFR (Code of Federal Regulation) Part 47 rules i.e. 91’s, 135’s or145’s working on transmitters up to 250 watts or 1000 watts PEP (peak envelope power).With regard to aviation, return to service privileges already granted to the A&P technician

and additional certification privileges granted to the qualified FAA Avionics technicianwould remain distinct to CFR 14 subpart rules.

Project Bootstrap
