If you haven't been following the recent discussion in the industry regarding A&P's with Inspection Authorizations (IA's) renewal requirements, the latest FAA Nuts & Bolts Newsletter has some good information on it. A word to the wise, if you don't already, make copies of anything that you sign off with your IA. You may need it when it comes time for renewal. This isn't a new rule, just a clarification of the original. If you're an IA that only signs off the annual on your own J-3 or T-6 every year and then takes an IA renewal course, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when you go to renew your IA.

For some reason I can't get the link to copy into the post correctly. |

Yeaaaaaah, Glad that got "clarified". Last week, it sure was good to see two IAs, who haven't turned an actual wrench in 5-10 years, and couldn't currently fix a stove, get their certs renewed, no questions asked. What is really scary, is that they still feel perfectly qualified to screw around with an airplane, and instruct junior mechanics how to (incorrectly) effect a repair. |

Ahhhh...No...You did not see them get renewed. The IA certifiicates renew every other year, in an odd numbered year. If they are teaching or supervising anyone in aviation maintenance, they are considered actively involved. |

They are both upper managers, and neither teach or supervise any maintenance activities any more. Their heyday was the 1970s, and their knowledge and remaining skills reflect that era. When they get bored with office work, they saunter into a MX hangar, and tell mechanics how to repair something circa 1975. Their ideas of airworthiness are bizarre. They both got certificates from a recent IA seminar, and said, the FAA inspector, knowing their current status, said attending the seminar makes them "actively engaged". |
