2013 I/E Forum Panel 3 Explore future of New Hire Technician Training and FAA Part 147 Evolution The minimum training curriculum in Part 147 was created in 1970 and revised once in Significant changes to aircraft, electronics, and avionics technology have, and are, occurring at an accelerating pace. – What technologies and associated skills need to included in upcoming rule change? – The A&P has long been considered a generalist. Does this paradigm hold for the future or is some degree of added specialization required? – What is the long term role of the A&P versus a repairman? Leadership and supervision of non-certificated maintenance personnel? – What about avionics technicians, especially considering emergent NextGen capabilities and retrofit requirements ? Part 147 AMT training based on performance metrics, not time or credit, will be proposed for rule change. – What education standards are appropriate to serve industry needs? – What are the strengths and threats to this approach? – What role can AABI accreditation perform?
