FAA Part 21 Certification Procedures for Products and Parts C1701
Part 21 is the FAA regulation that provides the regulatory framework to conduct certification of products and parts. This includes the engineering, airworthiness, production and quality systems. The aerospace industry is hinged around compliance with Part 21; however, comprehension of Part 21 and its role in civil certification is challenging. This course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the processes that encompass aircraft certification, including compliance with FARs, certification procedures and post certification responsibilities. It is also intended to introduce participants to the many regulatory issues upon which companies make business decisions that can be derailed by failing to see the part 21 implications. Such issues may include licensing, supplier control and relocation of manufacturing either domestically or internationally. Aerospace professionals will be able to implement time and resource saving actions resulting in cost savings. Participants will explore concepts of supplementing a Type Certificate, production certification procedures, quality system compliance, airworthiness certificates, and export procedures. Technical Standards procedures, parts manufacturing approval procedures, and implementation of the Change Product Rule and how to determine its applicability will also be covered.
Please note that some offerings of this seminar include a virtual training option for you to attend the seminar from the comfort of your office or home. The MicroTek Virtual Training Room is part of our Next Generation Classroom solution suite. Virtual Training Room combines the learning benefits of live, instructor-led training with the power and flexibility of a virtual platform. The result is an equal learning environment where remote participants experience the same collaboration, instructor interaction and learning benefits as those who are physically in the classroom. Virtual Training Room technology allows all students to:
- See and hear everything that is taking place in the live classroom
- Raise their hands and ask questions
- View and interact with course content (presentations, videos, whiteboard notes and more)
- Allows for real-time collaboration
