Building on the Project Bootstrap program, the NBAA Maintenance Committee has developed NextTech for NextGen, an industry-wide initiative to promote sweeping change in the aviation maintenance profession.
In the face of ongoing modernization of aircraft navigation, communications and surveillance equipment, maintenance technicians will need to be able to certify NextGen aircraft as both airworthy and fit for the mission.
NextTech will:
- Create a new industry standard for those in the aviation maintenance profession
- Ensure relevant educational and training standards are in place to develop a qualified workforce
- Engage regulatory authorities to amend outdated regulations
- Promote business aviation maintenance to the next generation
The NextTech for NextGen white paper provides additional information about the background of the initiative. Read the NextTech for NextGen white paper (PDF).
