I/E Forum History & Purpose

• Dialog between Industry and Educators– Industry presents issues and concepts important to aviation employers

at AABI Annual Meeting (Jul)– Educators respond with suggested academic & lab curriculum

changes, and implications to AABI Criteria at Winter meeting (Feb)– Educator Responder Panel composed of educators with topical

expertise

• Forum history includes both “hard” and “soft” topics

Glass flight Decks Communications skills Writing skills

Aviation business reality Aviation maintenance Aviation medicine

Aviation safety MPL around the world ICAO history

Airport management Pilot supply challenges Voluntary safety programs

2013 I/E Forum Panel 1Preparing Flight Education Graduates for NextGen ADS-B, PBN/RNP & FDM

• Flight Education graduates will enter employment in a NextGen/FDM

environment• Current flight education aircraft not equipped for NextGen/FDM• General aviation avionics have latent capability for NextGen/FDM• I/E Forum possible outcomes:

– Minimal outcome: increase awareness among educators of NextGen/FDM academic competency

– Median outcome: dominant avionics supplier provides eventual capability for RF path in navigators & FDM innovation continues

– Best outcome: dominant avionics supplier proactively engages university flight education community to develop strategy toward affordable NextGen/FDM implementation• Educators form an active NextGen/FDM working group, define airline and business operations

education objectives• Avionics supplier convenes a working session of educators, OEMs, airline, and business operators

to match airplane capability to education objectives• Flight education students arrive at first employment fully competent to operate in a robust

NextGen/FDM company environment

2013 I/E Forum Panel 3Explore 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 1992. 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?
