Altimeter Course
PIA offers recertification training for repair station technicians who test and certify altimeters, encoders, static systems, and transponders in accordance with CFR 14, Parts 91.411 and 91.413.
There are two courses available. The complete course consists of 8 clock hours of classroom, shop, and hangar instruction, and qualifies as a refresher course in accordance with CFR 14, Part 65.193. The recertification course consists of 4 clock hours of shop and hangar instruction, and is suitable for those technicians seeking only recertification under CFR 14, Part 145.163.
Classes are normally scheduled on weekdays from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. If the demand for the courses warrants, classes can be scheduled on Saturday mornings as well.
Those technicians who have their own operational pitot/static test equipment and altitude reporting test equipment may bring their equipment to the session. If any technician plans to do so, the technician is also responsible for bringing all necessary operating instructions for this equipment.
A properly equipped aircraft will be provided for training purposes. However, if time, weather, and hangar space permit, technicians enrolled in this course may bring their own aircraft to this session.
Cost for the courses, including all materials, is $598.00 for the complete course, and $299.00 for the recertification course, per person.
