January 11, 2005 Meeting at Lane Aviation,
5:30
Opening:
Louie opened the meeting with a welcome to everyone and
announcements about the Michigan Chapter's Olympics. He advised that
the golf outing this year would be in September, and volunteers to
serve on committees would be important this year and greatly
appreciated. Jeff Gruber invited everyone to consider assisting with
this year's Science Fair on March 19th. Gene Sprang presented this
month's Scholarship Awards--check the web-page for a picture and

look forward to seeing you in February.
Presentation:
The meeting was sponsored by Duncan Aviation-BTL and hosted and
supported by Lane Aviation and a host of other members of the
aviation industry. Terry Michmerhuizen Certification Engineer and
Manufacturing DAR provided an interesting and entertaining
introduction to the Federal Aviation Regulations, alteration of
aircraft and documentation and record keeping. Terry recognized the
great turn-out of our members and proceeded to present an excellent
review of common regulations and forms. He used a very simplified
approach to the critical nature of complete and accurate aircraft
records.
Also, Terry presented a compact and highly
effective review of Flammability Testing! He reviewed the regulatory
requirements and flammability testing specifications. Also reviewed
was Buildup testing, Ash Trays, Trash Compartments, Insulation and
other flammability related regulations. Finally, Terry provided a
"Compliance Countdown" of deadline dates.
Overall, an excellent presentation for
mechanics, pilots, owners and students. We surely must invite Duncan
Aviation and Terry back again! A question and answer session followed with
great participation.
The Central Ohio Professional Aviation
Maintenance Association wishes to thank the many raffle sponsors for
their contributions and members for participating in these worthy
meetings.
Finally, REMEMBER, to mark your calendar for the February 8th
meeting sponsored by Montreal Jet Center.
Yours in professional aircraft maintenance, Cliff Kelling, Secretary
