Air Tractor, in conjunction with the FAA’s Lubbock Flight Standards District Office, is sponsoring an opportunity for A&P mechanics to fulfill the annual training requirements for renewal of their Inspection Authorization (IA). A free Inspection Authorization Renewal Seminar will be held Saturday, March 2, 2019 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. C.S.T. at the Air Tractor training center at the company’s headquarters in Olney, Texas (ONY).

The FAA Inspection Authorization training is for A&P mechanics with an IA who conduct annual and progressive aircraft inspections and return to service major repairs and/or major alterations to aircraft.
