Upcoming PNAA Breakfast Meeting -
"A systems approach to
obtaining FAA ODA
and what the FAA changes
mean to you"
FAA
Order 8100-15 and 14 CFR Part 183 Subpart D addresses the formation
of ODA organizations. This new FAA delegation - Organizational Delegated Authority –
puts more responsibility on the Organization (company) than in the
past (when the FAA took more hands on involvement).
If your company does not require ODA but you work with companies that
do, you will be impacted by these new regulations. Complying
with the FAA Order is complex with many technical and business
decision variables which can impact your company’s future
business.
On Tuesday, September 16th (7:30-9:30 a.m.) at Bellevue Community
College (North Campus), Tectura's Ken
Smith will review the specifics of the ODA Order and discuss methods
to effectively comply with these regulatory requirements in an
efficient and cost effective manner.

information and to register for this upcoming meeting.

for Aluminum parts. Vector has been processing Aluminum Heat

and certified, and had its first production run on February 4th,
2008.
