Workshop E:
Security, Changes in FAA Enforcement Policy & New Federal Focus on SUPs
Harry Schaefer, Principal, Schaefer Consulting Services, LLC
Today, when many people hear the word "security," they think of protecting against terrorism. But security means a lot more, including protecting your valuable assets (ranging from your inventory to your employees) from an ever-growing collection of threats. Mr. Schaefer will discuss recent changes in FAA enforcement policy and the new Federal focus on suspected unapproved parts. Mr. Schaefer retired from a career in transportation law enforcement in 2007. He currently holds consulting contracts with the FAA and provides consulting services to private industry.
Workshop F:
Aircraft Recycling
William (Bill) Carberry, Deputy Director, AFRA
Ron Pye, Southern California Aviation
Kippen Westphal, InterfaceFLOR
With increasing expectations on the industry to maximize the recyclability of a aircraft, the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA) along with industry leaders have pursued increased recyclability. What can the industry do now and what are the issues we face in order to do more? With few exceptions, aircraft scrapping and salvage has continued to operate at the same level of technology for the past 20+ years. Certainly hydraulic power and improved tooling has increased the speed at which a plane is disassembled, but the level of technology applied to the reuse and recycling of an end-of-service aircraft have not kept pace with similar recycling and material reuse that we experience in other areas of our lives. This session will address reasons why aircraft recycling has lagged and present some of the new technologies that are making inroads into our industry.
Workshop G:
The Export Chase
Jason Dickstein, ASA General Counsel, Aviation Suppliers Association
Join Mr. Dickstein, as he leads your aircraft parts through a harrowing chase across the world of export regulatory compliance. Making this class even more exciting, you will be avoiding the relentless pursuit of the United States Government, which has brought record export sanctions against companies in recent years. Join us as we focus on how to how to make sure all of your exported aircraft parts remain in compliance with the appropriate export regulations.
