Washington Fly-In 

Attendees will crisscross the nation’s capital to meet members of Congress, staffers, regulators and industry allies to sound a unified message: Help aviation maintenance schools build the technical workforce of the future.

Day 1 will provide the opportunity to encourage policymakers to pass laws that bolster the efforts of instructors and students as they build the next generation of aviation professionals. Attendees will inform congressional leaders of the issues at the forefront of aviation maintenance education and those concerns unique to your institution. It is also a great way to educate policymakers about the numerous ways the industry impacts communities across the country.

Day 2 will bring together regulators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Education to discuss upcoming and current regulatory initiatives, and industry group ally representatives to collaborate on mutual objectives and activities.

Full agenda available on the event page.
