BETHESDA, MD, - JDA Aviation Technology Solutions (JDA) today announced the dates for a one-of-a-kind regulatory affairs training course. The two-day training course May 25-26 will be at the American Airlines Training Center in Ft. Worth, Texas, and will focus on expanding the FAA regulatory affairs knowledge for air carrier and repair station personnel.

The course will be led by former career FAA managers and principal inspectors who will provide recommended practices through real-life examples from their experience with the FAA and as private industry consultants. This highly interactive training will ensure that attendees are knowledgeable of:

• The FAA Flight Standards organization as well as Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)/Certificate Management Office (CMO) inspector duties, responsibilities, authority, limitations and acceptable conduct.
• FAA guidance including FAA regulations, handbooks, policies, procedures, websites, and other materials.
• FAA compliance, investigative and enforcement process, and how to review and respond to an FAA Letter of Investigation (LOI).
• The importance and methods to document communications with FAA personnel.

"It concerns us to hear of the difficulties some of our clients are having with their FAA interactions," said Joe Del Balzo, President of JDA "This course will provide in depth understanding of the FAA processes and inspector responsibilities and authority as well as the resources available to assist operators improve their working relationship with their FAA counterparts."

In 2009 the course was presented to a Part 121 operator and received rave reviews. One participant described it as "one of the best training courses I ever attended. I learned more in two days about the FAA and the oversight process than I have during my seven years on the job. The course is jam packed with valuable information."
