Washington, DC - JDA Aviation Technology Solutions today announced that the FAA has renewed JDA's Part121 Certification Consultant Agreement through 2009. Under the FAA Certification Consultant Program qualified firms such as JDA may be used by Part 121 applicants to assist the entrant carrier with the certification process. In October 2005 JDA became one of only two aviation consulting firms to meet the qualifications necessary to be certified as a Part 121 Certification Consultant and continues to maintain the high program standards and requirements established by the FAA.

To become a qualified certification consultant requires arduous FAA training and scrutiny and to maintain our qualification is certainly a testament about the quality of our team of seasoned experts said JDA President and CEO Joe Del Balzo."

In addition to a team of highly experienced personnel, JDA uses a rigorous procedure, CertAssure^TM, to guide applicants through the certification process. By following the CertAssure^TM procedures, both the carrier seeking Part 121 certification and the agency are assured that all aspects of the certification process have been met. CertAssure^TM helps carriers expedite the process while maintaining high quality and cost effectiveness throughout the certification process. The CertAssure^TM process is also used to assist existing air carriers implement Air Transport Oversight System (ATOS) and Safety Management Systems (SMS) programs

JDA was instrumental in getting both Republic Airlines and Lynx Aviation (Frontier Express) certified as Part 121 air carriers under this program and has supported Piedmont, CJ Aviation Systems and Sentient with their ATOS implementation using CertAssure^TM.
