Renew Yourself – ARSA

A newly released ARSA tool assists certificated mechanics holding Inspection Authorization to demonstrate acceptability of completed training for renewal credit.

Initially produced to support Annual Conference participants, the association has included the template document in its tools available for free to members. The form demonstrates acceptability of training sessions under § 65.93(a)(4) that have not been previously accepted by the FAASafety Team.

Acceptable refresher courses contain subjects that:

(1) Directly relate to aerospace maintenance or alterations activities, e., technical or regulatory information.
(2) Support civil aviation activities, e., human factors or professionalism.

Courses that merely promote a new or existing product without technical, regulatory compliance, or professional content are not acceptable.

The form, along with a completion certificate or similar documentation, provides evidence of completing the training experience and demonstrates is acceptability under the rules.
