FAA Administrator
to speak at AEA
Convention

On Thursday, April 28, FAA Administrator
Michael P. Huerta will open the morning regulatory session during the AEA International
Convention & Trade Show in Orlando, Florida.
Moderated by Ric Peri,
AEA vice president of government and industry affairs, join
FAA invited leadership team
members from headquarters,
including Huerta, along with
officials from directorate and
field and regional offices, as
Michael P. Huerta participants discuss important
regulatory topics affecting
your avionics business in 2016 and beyond.
Topics include the FAA's reauthorization in
2016; the Part 23 rewrite affecting aircraft
design, certification and maintenance; and
updates on the FAA's efforts toward ADS-B implementation. And no regulatory update with the
FAA would be complete without addressing the
international growth in the UAS marketplace.
