Mon, 24 Apr '06

Recognizes 64 Member Shops For Training Commitment

The Aircraft Electronics Association announced the recipients of the annual Avionics Training Excellence award during the Opening Ceremony last week of the 49th annual AEA International Convention & Trade Show. The Avionics Training Excellence award recognizes AEA members for their total commitment to training as evidenced by participation in AEA–approved training.

This year, 64 members were recognized, which is the most ever.

Pilots and aircraft owners have no easy way of knowing about a repair station’s dedication to technician training; however, with a recognized commitment to training and by displaying the Avionics Training Excellence award, these AEA repair stations demonstrate their dedication to professional development and assure their customers of high levels of service.
