The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), the Guam International Airport Authority (GIAA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are pleased to present the Advanced Airport Safety and Operations Specialist (ASOS) School, December 13-14, 2008, in Tamuning, Guam.
Since 1989, more than 7,000 airport operations personnel have attended one or more of these schools. ASOS Schools have become a regular and recurring part of virtually every airport’s training program for operations staff. Endorsed and taught by FAA officials and other airport industry professionals, these nationally recognized courses are designed to increase awareness of FAA’s Part 139 airport certification program, as well as to enhance the professionalism and safety responsibilities of airport operations personnel. These professional schools are specifically tailored to airport personnel responsible for the day-to-day operations of public-use (both commercial service and general aviation) and military shared-use airports throughout the United States. This course will address the new FAR Part 139 requirements and provide the most recent information available, including new, revised, or pending changes for FAA Advisory Circulars impacting operations. This session also gives attendees a great opportunity to apply the new requirements in practical case study environments, as well as to test their own new revision or development ideas for the Airport Certification Manual.
This advanced school is designed for individuals who either have attended an earlier ASOS School or have at least three years of experience in airport operations. The advanced course has a unique blend of lectures, practical case studies and laboratories designed to increase retention and reinforce practices acceptable to FAA. The school balances prepared presentations, problem-solving exercises and interactive breakout groups, so that all attendees can actively participate in the proceedings. Participants are encouraged to discuss best management practices and lessons learned at their airports or from other experiences.
