The track’s five sessions that are eligible for IA renewal credits aim to educate aviation maintenance professionals about topics like:

By attending all approved sessions, attendees can earn the eight hours of required recurrent training needed for IA currency.

D’Leon added, “Staying current with complex and frequently changing regulations is a challenge, and we’re excited to launch this program to support our community.”
