AEA recognizes members
for training commitment
The Aircraft Electronics Association announced the recipients of the
annual Avionics Training Excellence Award, which recognizes AEA
member companies for their total commitment to continued education
as evidenced by participation in AEA-approved training. Forty member
companies received the 2019 AEA Avionics Training Excellence Award.
Aaron Ward, AEA director of operations, said these certified repair
station members train beyond the requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and are committed to ensuring their technicians are
current on the latest regulations and technologies.
"The AEA's high-quality hands-on technical training at our
headquarters and our year-round regulatory training in the pages
of Avionics News, online and at our conferences provides members
cost-effective professional development options," Ward said. "We

are constantly looking at ways to add to our training library to keep
our members informed and up to speed on the latest regulatory and
technological advancements."
For a member company to be eligible for the AEA Avionics
Training Excellence Award, all its technicians must have completed
at least one AEA-approved training event in the previous year,
which includes the courses conducted at AEA headquarters; the AEA
