What's in a name?
A
s an element of the Aircraft Electronics
Association's development of a strategic
plan, the AEA board of directors
approved an effort to review membership to assure
we are globally neutral in how we refer to " approved
maintenance organizations, " or MROs. With 65 years
of history, and because the association began as a U.S.based
organization, it is logical that the foundational
language leans toward Federal Aviation Administrationcentric
language. One of the tasks of the membership
committee is to assure that our language is
internationally neutral. As such, we are looking to
better align with the language of the International Civil
Aviation Organization and how it labels approved
maintenance organizations.
The other interesting exercise, at least for me,
has been researching the meaning of " avionics. " We
use that term all the time in our industry, but what
does it actually mean? Interestingly, there is no
universal definition. The origin of the term avionics
is universally accepted as a blending of aviation and
electronics. As the strategic planning committee,
and subsequently the membership committee, began
looking at who the AEA is, we discovered that, first
and foremost, we were a bit dated.
According to the AEA website's description of
14 avionics news * april 2022
For 65 years, the AEA has
represented the aircraft electronics
industry, and that will not change.
" What is the AEA? " ...
" Founded in 1957, the Aircraft Electronics
Association represents nearly 1,300 member
companies in more than 40 countries, including
government-certified international repair
stations specializing in maintenance, repair and
installation of avionics and electronic systems in
general aviation aircraft. The AEA membership
also includes manufacturers of avionics
equipment, instrument repair facilities, instrument
manufacturers, airframe manufacturers, test
equipment manufacturers, major distributors,
engineers and educational institutions. "
Yes, it was founded in 1957, an interesting year in
aviation. Personally, I think the greatest breakthrough
was the introduction of hot coffee in flight. According
to a report in Wikipedia, in January 1957, Trans World
Airlines became the first airline to offer its passengers
