You Say the Nicest Things

"I want to thank you and your organization for your assistance with this matter (regarding an 8130-3 tag). ARSA has been a great help to me and my company not only with this matter but other matters in the past. Again, thank you."
Paul Skinner, Ameron Global Product Support

"It is refreshing to know that when we need something, ARSA and its staff is always waiting in the wings to help us."
Ed Roberts, A.O.G. Reaction, Inc.

"I attended Legislative Day and the Symposium for the first time this year (2007) and wanted to express my appreciation for your outstanding efforts in producing a professional, relevant and enjoyable learning experience."
Chris Hankland, Columbia Helicopters, Inc.

"You and your staff should be proud of the progress you all are making - we at Sonico are certainly proud of the individuals as well as the organization."
Bill Perdue, SONICO, Inc.

"I forwarded the ARSA article to our warehouse manager. He researched the matter and then sent a message regarding it to our shipping agents... The result so far has been a credit of 57,000 Euro ($61,000) from duties paid. Thank you for the timely information. I will continue to read the hotline and look for other information which will benefit our company."
Connie Hornbaker, Erickson Air-Crane Inc.

"To my surprise, because it was never discussed, the auditors wrote us up for not listing our calibration lab in our list of contractors. I remembered reading in the hotline that calibration is not a maintenance function. I responded that calibration functions are not maintenance functions and cited FAR Part 1 and AC 145-9 for definitions of maintenance and maintenance function, respectively. Thanks for the training and 'inside scoop' ARSA gives us to fight back nonsensical and subjective findings."
Rodrigo Encalada, Director of Quality, Summit Aerospace, Inc.

"The information you shared with us relative to standard hardware traceability was great! Based on your help we were able to reach timely closure on our situation. A tremendous thanks from all of us here and we look forward to seeing you at the upcoming ARSA symposium."
Felton Payton, Chromalloy Component Services

"During the Legislative Day event in 2005, I remember being struck at how often the guest speakers and panelists commented on the knowledge and professionalism of the ARSA group. The people that work on Capitol Hill are bombarded daily by interest groups wanting attention to their needs, but hearing how respected ARSA is on the Hill provided ultimate confidence in this member at least that ARSA is truly effective in being our voice."
Tom Browning, Business Development Manager, Hytek Finishes Co.

"We asked our PMI about the status of the training program. He recommended that we visit the ARSA Web site. He felt that you currently seem to be a very good resource on this issue."
Tom Fennell, Manager, Repair & Overhaul, Triumph Actuation Systems, LLC

"Your newsletter helps keep this company well informed of the latest developments within the FAA. It even helps answer questions that we don’t yet know we should be asking!"
David Ford, Keystone Helicopter Corp.

"The Aeronautical Repair Station Association got the FAA to finally issue a helpful and needed advisory circular by writing it for the FAA. ...This is wonderful work by an aviation association here in Washington to get some needed advisory material on the books..."
Aviation Maintenance magazine

"Legislative Day was really a great experience. ARSA made it easy for us to talk to the staff of our senator and congressman. Next time we need to talk to them, we’ll have a better idea of how to be professional about it. …ARSA does a great job of teaching us how to work with the government."
Legislative Day Attendee

"You address regulatory issues and status of our industry without the commercialism of other conferences that disguise themselves as technical or informative. Please keep it that way."
Symposium Attendee

"This is an excellent learning opportunity. It’s hard to find opportunities like this where the focus is the well-being of the attendees, not the sponsor’s or organizer’s commercial interests."
Symposium Attendee

"I really believe this is a most valuable symposium. The material is always so critical to our business. Of course, the chance to meet with our competitors and cohorts and government servants is also valuable. It seems to get better every year."
