Air Tractor, in conjunction with the FAA’s Lubbock Flight Standards District Office, is sponsoring an opportunity for A&P mechanics to fulfill the annual training requirements for renewal of their Inspection Authorization (IA). A free Inspection Authorization Renewal Seminar will be held Saturday, March 2, 2019 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. C.S.T. at the Air Tractor training center at the company’s headquarters in Olney, Texas (ONY).
The FAA Inspection Authorization training is for A&P mechanics with an IA who conduct annual and progressive aircraft inspections and return to service major repairs and/or major alterations to aircraft. The seminar includes eight hours of information addressing airworthiness-related topics, human factors, and/or regulatory and policy guidance.
Attendees will learn from subject matter experts. Presentations include PT6 Engine Maintenance presented by Fletcher Sharp of Covington Aircraft; Overhaul and Repair of PT6 Engine Accessories presented by Greg Stewart of Kansas Aviation; an overview of Air Tractor Service Letters and Bulletins presented by Air Tractor President Jim Hirsch; and information on Maintenance DAR activities presented by Robert Salyers of Pratt &
Whitney Canada. Seminar attendees will also have the opportunity to tour the Air Tractor aircraft manufacturing facilities. Attendees must present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, for access to the manufacturing plant.
