Maintenance and Modifications
Part 147 AMT School Rule Sees Significant Changes
The Helicopter Association International webinar highlighted major updates to the Part 147 rule first "developed to teach technicians to maintain a DC-6."

Revamped Part 147 regulation governing aviation maintenance technical schools in the U.S. will update language and standards that are more than 50 years old, while aligning schools’ curriculum with mechanic Airman Certification Standards, freeing them from FAA curriculum approvals. Those and other changes to Part 147 were the topics last week of an hour-long webinar hosted by Helicopter Association International and presented by Aviation Technician Education Council executive director Crystal Maguire and Blue Ridge Community College professor of aviation maintenance technology Fred Dyen.
