In an effort to maintain the highest levels of aviation safety, The FAA Flight Standards Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Division (AFS-300) developed the AMT Awards Program to encourage AMT employees and employers to participate aggressively in available initial and recurrent training and classroom courses. The FAA recognizes employees and employers by issuing awards to those who successfully complete and foster initial and recurrent training. Soundair feels it is important that technicians involved in aircraft maintenance continue to enhance their knowledge to increase the awareness of the issues important to aviation safety. To that extent, they continue to keep this program as an important part of their business.
