Its Been a Great Year!
For The Foundation for Business Aircraft Records Excellence.
FAA Approval of all of its Courses, IA Renewal credit Authority granted by the FAA, Part 147 Technical School curriculum inclusion obtained, On-Site Training Opportunities realized, and the continued success of its On-Line Training and Aircraft Documents Specialist Program.
In addition to all that, our Executive Director, Larry Hinebaugh, has had numerous opportunities to speak and share his vision of Improving Record Keeping and Management practices in our industry, increasing the pay and respect for the Aircraft Maintenance Professional, and a better future for all of us in Business Aviation.
Yes, its been a great year. But there’s so much more to do. With the need the industry has to replace its many retiring mechanics, and the increasing demands for more qualified A&Ps and AMTs; we must respond with changes that make us more competitive, more efficient in our aircraft operations, and more desirable as a career to tomorrow’s generation.
For an industry that is responsible for creating aircraft that fly faster, travel further, and operate more efficiently than ever thought possible, this is something we should be able to.
Its just takes the will and the courage to make it happen.
