A message from the St. Louis Aviation Maintenance Association (SLAMA),
After 26 years of hosting the Inspection Authorization (IA) Renewal and Maintenance Symposium, the SLAMA Executive Board made the decision to postpone this year’s event scheduled for February 2021. The new date for this event is now Thursday September 16, 2021 and will count towards the next even-numbered year IA cycle starting April 1, 2021.
In accordance with FAR §65.92(a) each inspection authorization expires on March 31 of each odd-numbered year. The current inspection authorizations are set to expire on March 31, 2021.
If utilizing a “refresher course” acceptable to the FAA, for this year’s current cycle, free on-line refresher courses and webinars are available for all Airman on www.faasafety.gov under the Maintenance Hangar Tab and Seminars and Webinars Tab at the top of the home page.
