As part of the airman certification standards (ACS) development, the FAA's newly-created Aviation Exam Board (AEB) will be reviewing each question in the knowledge test bank. Its first round of edits will address the "low handing fruit"; that is, questions that should be removed from the bank entirely.
Through the ACS working group, the FAA is requesting feedback on the current general knowledge sample exam. Comments will be considered as the AEB begins their work to review and update the the knowledge test bank. ATEC will compile all feedback received from the membership for consideration by the AEB. Member comment is due to atec@atec-amt.org by Oct. 6.

Looks like Aircraft Covering has just about gone away but Aircraft welding has come back strong.

Hi Mike: ATEC has gotten similar feedback on the welding items, you'll see some revisions in the next draft version set to come out mid November. If you have comments on that one please submit them along with recommended changes. Thanks!

As a DME there are certain welding projects like setting turning tanks on and demonstrating a neutral flame. I have not see a project where the applicants have to weld, but they must know how to inspect welds. I think the current standard should stay the way is it for welding as a lot of older aircraft and LSA aircraft require welding. Leave a Reply. |
