Quick Question – “The Opening Salvo” & Beyond

Each year during the symposium portion of ARSA’s Annual Conference, Managing Director & General Counsel Marshall S. Filler and Executive Director Sarah MacLeod moderate an “opening salvo” session on maintenance and certification issues. The discussions, which have evolved into a two-plus hour intensive exploration of all regulatory matters impacting the maintenance community, is the cornerstone of the symposium’s value to the repair station community: direct engagement with international aviation authorities.

The “opening salvo” is now nestled into a full, four-day schedule of meetings, presentations and interaction. Aviation professionals should be planning their attendance (click here to register and for accommodation information) and should take a moment to help the association prepare by providing insight. Use this month’s “quick question” to share the points, topics or questions you’d like covered at this year’s event:
