The \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique (\u00c9NA) and the Centre technologique en a\u00e9rospatiale (CTA) are very proud to announce their accreditation by Transport Canada as an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO). This certification attests that the two establishments have put in place detailed procedures, a rigorous monitoring system and a quality assurance program meeting Transport Canada standards, to supervise the work of their certified technicians in maintenance, avionics and aircraft structures.<\/p>\n
For the CTA, this certification will make a big difference in carrying out its applied research projects, including the modification of a test aircraft for remote operation. \"Our technicians, now working within the framework of our AMO, will be able to carry out and certify the work required to transform this aircraft into a remotely-operated flight test platform. This represents a major asset for the development of the air mobility systems of the future\", enthused Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Parent, General Manager of the Aerospace Technology Centre.<\/p>\n
\u00c9NA also benefits from this new certification. \"Thanks to this accreditation, responsibility for post-maintenance certification on our certified aircraft will no longer rest solely with our Transport Canada-licensed technicians, but rather with our AMO,\" explains Pascal D\u00e9silets, Director of the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique.<\/p>\n
This certification is also of great benefit to \u00c9NA's Aircraft Maintenance Techniques and Avionics Techniques programs. Professors in the Pre-Flight department have prepared a pedagogical version of the AMO Maintenance Policy Manual (MPM), which is currently being piloted for integration into the Aircraft Maintenance and Avionics internship courses. This will standardize shop and hangar procedures during teaching activities, and provide a learning environment even more similar to the future workplace of our graduates.<\/p>\n
The awarding of Transport Canada's Approved Maintenance Organization certification marks the culmination of almost seven years' work, much of it initiated and carried out by the CTA's Aeronautical Systems Development and Integration team. These steps were effectively supported by the \u00c9NA quality assurance team.<\/p>\n
\"\u00c9NA and CTA were fortunate to be able to rely on their specialists to successfully complete this long and rigorous certification process. I would like to highlight the work of our teams, who drew on their in-depth knowledge of the Canadian Aviation Regulations and their technical expertise to prepare the required documentation and modify certain elements, such as the management of the inventory of certified parts, in order to comply with Transport Canada's requirements,\" noted H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Bailleu, General Manager of C\u00e9gep \u00c9douard-Montpetit.<\/p>\n
\u00c9NA is already a Transport Canada Approved Training Organization (ATO), enabling it to offer Transport Canada-approved training in its Aircraft Maintenance Techniques and Avionics Techniques programs. Graduates of these programs who wish to obtain an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) license are eligible for knowledge and experience credit.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1964, the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique (\u00c9NA) at C\u00e9gep \u00c9douard-Montpetit is the world's leading aerotechnical institute. Its expertise is based on the exceptional know-how of its staff and its close links with industry. Its specialized college programs in Aerospace Engineering Techniques (including the DEC-BAC in Aerospace Engineering), Aircraft Maintenance Techniques and Avionics Techniques (including the DEC-BAC in Avionics) are offered in its $110 million facilities. These include 6 hangars housing 38 aircraft, and are located on the tarmac of the MET - A\u00e9roport m\u00e9tropolitain de Montr\u00e9al, in Longueuil. <\/p>\n
