1 Overview of Order DAS, DOA and SFAR 36 Authorization Procedures Conducted via Interactive Video Teletraining on the Aviation Training Network (ATN) Presented by Ralph Meyer AIR-140 Kurt Krumlauf, ANM-108L

2 About This IVT Briefing This briefing reviews the requirements contained in Order , DAS DOA and SFAR 36 Authorization Procedures. Order prescribes the FAA policy related to delegated organizations and the functions they perform. What Is ATN? ATN stands for the Aviation Training Network, a one-way video, 2-way audio, satellite broadcast facility located at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City Participants are located at any of more than 60 receive sites around the country and can see the instructor and course visuals on television sets in their classrooms. The participants can communicate with the instructor through Viewer Response System keypads. During the live presentation, when a participant has a question or the instructor asks for specific participant responses to questions, the participant(s) can signal to the instructor using their keypad responders. The collective participant responses or the name of a specific participant signalling a question are immediately visible to the instructor on the console at the broadcast site. The instructor can then respond as needed. When the instructor calls on a specific participant to speak from a site, participants at each of the other sites can simultaneously hear the participant who is speaking. Who Is the Target Audience? All ACO, MIDO and FSDO personnel responsible for managing DAS, DOA and SFAR 36 organizations. 2

3 Who are the Presenters? Ralph Meyer is the AIR-140 program manager for delegated organization policy development. Was the team leader for DDS policy and also works on the Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) rulemaking and policy development teams. Kurt Krumlauf is the Los Angeles ACO manufacturing inspection specialist. He is a member of both the DDS and ODA policy development teams. What Will You Learn? An understanding of the FAA's requirements for managing delegated organization. Selection and Appointment Process Qualification Requirements for the Organization and their staff members. The roles of the various FAA offices in managing the organization and their activity Who Is the Target Audience? All ACO, MIDO and FSDO personnel responsible for managing DAS, DOA and SFAR 36 organizations. 3
