    1. Safety and Quality Certification of Aviation Maintenance Technicians, Professionals, and Leaders

    3. PAMA Ends Statement The industry resource for information regarding aviation maintenance. Advocate for the aviation maintenance professional. Legal & Regulatory Affairs Life-long Learning Safety Standardization Industry recognition for the value of the AMT Promoting a positive public image of the aviation maintenance profession.

    4. Maintenance Certification Achieves the PAMA Ends… Advocating Safety, Standardization, and Life-long learning Bringing recognition to technicians as they achieve higher levels of certification Promoting a positive public image of the aviation maintenance profession.

    5. Professional Certification... Enhances quality, reliability, and customer delight by: Identifying a consensus-driven competency baseline. Documenting regulatory compliance. Providing a method of monitoring continuous capability. Encouraging employee loyalty and career stability. Validates the growing use of “specialists” to accomplish specific tasks.

    6. SAE/PAMA Certification Establishes the state of our art for advanced knowledge, skill and ability. Provides a method of continuous qualification and monitoring. Addresses the looming shortage of technicians by focusing on youth. Documents minimum regulatory compliance. Identifies or creates a consensus-driven baseline. Validates the growing use of “specialists” to accomplish specific tasks. Recognizes the shifting role of the certificated technician to one of technical oversight. Is synonymous with quality workmanship, reliability, customer care, reduced rework, lower insurance premiums, and increased employee loyalty and career stability.

    10. ENTERPRISE ATTRIBUTES Industry Service Proactive Staff Speed to Market Global Impact Recognition Functionality Engage industry leaders

    11. ENTERPRISE CAPABILITIES Training Certification Standards Neutral Forum Standards World’s largest producer De facto ISO standards Consensus building expertise Neutral Forum Mitigates legal concerns Promotes common objectives Administrative and facilitation expertise

    12. Appropriately organized with proven capabilities to serve the world’s aerospace maintenance sector

    13. Industry Feedback on Certification and Training Rationale Sharpen the Saw Confidence in Customer interaction Establish a standard Develop communication skills High School counselor recommendations Documented skill levels Professionalism and Ethics Human Factors knowledge Quantified body of knowledge Central database of skills and capabilities Enhances specialized skills Develop supervisory skills Regulatory understanding Hone quality skills Verifiable competency/capability Improved aircraft reliability and availability Develop advance digital skills Confidence in ability to do work Willingness to pay higher salaries Develop qualified instructors Centralized approach Identifiable career progression FAA/EASA Compliance Develop workforce with career path/apprenticeship programs Higher “first pass” yield

    14. Key Issues Identify and fill industry-wide training gaps. Enhance public awareness of aviation maintenance professionals. Promote a structured system of professional career paths. Accelerate technician career growth.

    15. Aviation Maintenance Technician Safety and Quality Certification Proposal Draft Program Overview

    16. Situation Airline restructuring has shifted much heavy and routine maintenance to 3rd parties – domestic and international. Technical workforce permitted by FAA to be non-certificated, supervised by Certificated professionals. Regulations are broad and technician training and skill requirements without standards – “Capable” FAA efforts to add regulations to raise technician skill levels through advanced certification have failed. European regulatory certification model is onerous. U.S. Industry appears ready to embrace voluntary standards for non-certificated and specialized skills. Global market respects certification and would likely support international standard. Manufacturing skills are not taught or certificated outside OEMs.

    17. Aviation Maintenance Certification Government and Industry Market Drivers 2003 GAO study – Not enough technicians FAR 145 training program requirements – Being written into FAR 135 Vision 100 – Congressional Order – Inadequate maintenance training FAA HF Skyway proposals –– Need other ways to train technicians to new technologies AC 145.10 – Safety focus for improved training FAA Safety Team (FAAST Team) – Focus on avoiding mistakes FAR Part 66 – Attempted to advance training and certification standards FAR 147 AMT curriculum does not support today’s or future technology. PAMA – Increasing professionalism and recognition. ATEC – Schools closing because fewer technicians enrolling. FAA-sponsored Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Future Summit. Highly competitive environment

    18. Aviation Maintenance Certification Proposal Develop a plan to certify aviation maintenance professionals along a broad spectrum of competencies from entry level technician to professional specialists, inspectors and supervisors/managers. Solicit and earn consensus and support from the aviation maintenance and manufacturing leadership stakeholders for a system of voluntary advanced standards and training programs. Build a training, education, and experience tracking system to provide guidance and recognition to technicians as they progress along their career paths. Develop testing in concert with established aviation maintenance competency standards. Create training syllabi for dissemination to the aviation maintenance technician community.

    19. Professional Certification Model
