About AME Association (Atlantic) Inc.
The AME Association (Atlantic) is an organization formed by people who work, or have worked, in the various maintenance disciplines in the aviation community, in the Atlantic Region. This Association is overseen by a group of volunteers who have been elected by the membership to promote and advance the aircraft maintenance profession for its members.
The purpose of the association is to maintain and enhance the standards of professionalism of the AME and the aircraft maintenance industry as a whole and to protect the rights and privileges of the AME license. The association works with and is consulted by Transport Canada in the formulation of new rules and regulations to promote the viewpoint of the AME. We have representation on various committees and working groups involved with aircraft maintenance and licensing.
A separate committee under the auspices of the association runs an annual Conference. This workshop is a two-day event that features speakers on a variety of related topics, as well as, an industry trade show with over forty booths from various companies, suppliers, manufacturers and maintenance organizations. Attendance at the technical sessions during the conference may be counted toward the recurrent training requirements required by Transport Canada, provided that your employer has this conference listed in their approved manual as recurrent training.
The Purpose and Objectives of This Association Are:
- To promote and protect the profession of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
