Doug Larson, a graduate researcher at the University of Minnesota, is conducting a survey of maintenance technicians “to look at the experience and education of aviation maintenance instructors and see what it tells us about the job of educating maintenance technicians.” He is asking all aircraft maintenance instructors to take a 15-minute anonymous online survey.
“I am constantly looking at how to make maintenance training more effective and efficient,” he said. “Back in the early 1990s when the federal aviation regulations were, for the most part, brought into harmony with European requirements, the maintenance regulations under Part 65 were never harmonized with EASA’s Part 66. I’ve been told the NPRM proposing to do so drew more negative comments than any other NPRM in the history of the FAA’s rulemaking process. What I want to know is whether it makes sense to change our standards to be in compliance with those of the EASA.”
