OAMS 2022 Preplanning!
On December 15th, FAA Safety Inspector Paul Gillenwater led a discussion with COPAMA board members, other FAASTeam Inspectors from Cleveland and Cincinnati FSDOs, Eastland Career Center Instructor Alex D'Ettorre and Instructors Deem and Everett from C.S.C.C. Aviation Maintenance Technology to discuss holding the 2022 Ohio Aviation Maintenance Symposium at that sight. The Symposium date will be March 15th at the Eastland Career Center which is located at 4465 S. Hamilton Road, Groveport, Ohio 43125.
The change of venue addresses costs and COVID issues and gives exposure of the Aviation Maintenance Community to the students at E.C.C. engaged in their Aviation Pathways Program. Many past vendors have already signed on as Booth Displays and Presenters at the event.
E.C.C.'s Aviation Pathways Program exposes their students to Piloting, Maintenance, A.T.C., Airport Management and Drone training to pass the Part 107 UAS Certification. They get a well rounded idea of aviation so they can decide which career path to choose after High School graduation.
The Symposium will be held in their Engineering Technologies Center recently opened in August 2021. Along with the Aviation program which provides training for up to 30 Junior and Senior students from affiliated regional High Schools, the building houses Welding, Pre-Engineering, Computer Controlled Manufacturing, and other technical courses for High School and Adult continuing education classes in the evening.
The Center will be on Spring Break so acres of parking are available along with local restaurants and planned food trucks for lunch. Attendees should plan thier choice of food source or bring their lunch.
We will update our website with information when plans are finalized. Here is link to the Eastland Fairfield Career and Technical Schools which Eastland and Fairfield Career Centers combine to form.
