ASTM'S COMPASS
The AEA has negotiated a contract to bring all of
the ASTM aviation standards to the repair station
members that need the standards for the continuing
airworthiness of the
general aviation fleet
from light-sport aircraft
to the new Part 23 as
well as the foundational maintenance of electrical
wire interconnect systems for the legacy GA fleet.
It's estimated that the typical repair station uses six
ASTM standards during the year. The standards range
from $50 for the Electrical Load Analysis to $103
for the Standard Practice for Design, Alteration and
Certification of aircraft wiring systems. The annual
cost savings is around $350 a year for AEA members.
