Let me educate you a little azimuthaviation.Yeah CID what exactly do you doubt? That youll ever touch a woman? Well I can tell you I fully agree with you there. Anyways you would probably know what to do with her as you would an an aircraft, am I right? And if you dare question the quality of my work or the legality you had better come out and say it and if you cant back it up I would prefer you shut your mouth. Don't worry Transport doesn't need your help. If you refer to my second post I think I told you any work will be signed off by someone with the proper authority.
I asked a very simple question and you have failed to answer it. I didn't ask whether or not you'd have an AME sign off your work, I simply asked if you had a license. Cat driver is convinced that since you call yourself a “technician” that means you must be licensed. There’s no basis for that assumption but I did ask if you were at least a member of ASET, the Association of Science and Engineering Technology of Alberta who certifies technicians and technologists in Alberta. Again, there was no response to that question.
As far as “backing up” what I say, I say about "legality" or "quality" of your work, remember, I didn't question either. I merely asked you some questions about your qualifications. You've done much more to cause people to question the legality and quality of your work than I have.
Let me educate you some more. Work on avionics equipment is specialized work and isn’t signed off by an AME. It’s signed off by someone with a shop certification authority or “SCA” in an approved shop. That’s why I asked you if you had an SCA. An AME license is associated with an Aircraft Certification Authority or an “ACA”.BTW when someone gets work done at an avionics shop, dont expect an AME to be doing it. Chances are an apprentice just out of school will be working on your aircraft and signed out by an AME. Now I dont think theres anything unsafe or unproffesional about that. Not too many people are going to school for two years and four years of apprenticeship in order to spend the rest of their career working at a shop for whatever wage they get in order to meet the requirements of people like CID.
You might also what to read up on CAR 571.573.05 Qualifications for Signing a Maintenance Release
Information Note:
An AME licence does not automatically qualify an individual to sign a maintenance release under an AMO authority. The authority for a person to sign a release within the AMO's jurisdiction shall be separately granted by the AMO, in acordance with section 573.07 of the CARs, following specific training in regards to AMO procedures and other regulatory training.
(1) Pursuant to section 573. 05 of the CARs, an AMO shall issue an authorization to those individuals who will sign a maintenance release in respect of work performed on an aircraft.
Information Notes:
(i) This type of authorization is commonly known as an Aircraft Certification Authority (ACA). An ACA also permits the certification of work that is performed off the aircraft, provided it is not prohibited in the MPM. This work is only appropriate under an ACA where it is performed on products that are, by type design, eligible for installation on the aircraft or system for which the AME licence, forming the basis of the ACA, is rated.
(ii) "Eligible" does not necessarily mean that the part is intended to be installed on an aircraft for which the AME licence is rated; the part may be eligible, by type design, to be installed in several aircraft types. Provided the part is eligible for installation in the type for which the AME licence has been rated, the work can be performed even though the part may actually be installed on an aircraft for which the AME licence has not been rated.
(2) An AMO authorizes a person, that is not the holder of an AME licence issued pursuant to Subpart 403 of the CARs, to sign a maintenance release, in accordance with paragraph 571.11(2)(c) of the CARs, in respect of work performed on parts intended for installation on an aircraft, by means of a Shop Certification Authority (SCA). Prior to the issuance of an SCA, the AMO shall ensure that the person understands his/her responsibilities in accordance with the applicable regulations, and has demonstrated levels of knowledge and experience that meet the applicable requirements of CAR 573.05, in respect of the work certified. These levels of knowledge and experience can be determined as follows:
(amended 2002/03/01; previous version)
(a) by diploma or certificate from a course in an appropriate field or by an attestation that the person has been working in the field, under the supervision of an ACA or SCA holder for a period of not less than:
(i) in the case of engine or propeller overhauls, 1800 hours; and
(ii) in all other cases, including the repair of engine modules, 300 hours.
(3) Prior to issuing an authorization in respect of the evaluation of undocumented aircraft parts, the AMO shall ensure that the person has been exercising the privileges of an appropriate ACA or SCA for a period of not less than 5 years, and has successfully completed an approved course of training on the applicable process outlined in Standard 571, Appendix H.
(amended 2002/03/01; previous version)
Information Note:
The five year experience requirement mentioned in (3) does not necessarily represent the experience gained within a single AMO, but can be the cumulative pertinent experience gained within a number of AMOs.
(amended 2002/03/01; previous version)
(4) Performance of specific NDT tasks can be authorized by AMOs not holding an NDT category provided that the tasks are performed as set out in Appendix K to Standard 571.
(5) ACA or SCA authorizations are indicated in a document issued to each individual concerned; the identity of each person shall also be established in the records required by section 573.07 of the CARs. In the case of an SCA, the records shall include details in respect of (2)(a) above.
My original question in this post was legit and I posed it because I may have had some business to push your way. Before I recommend anybody, I'd like to fully understand a person's capabilities and credentials. You've chosen to interpret my questions as hostile and provided very suspicious replies.
Based on your responses azimuthaviation, (and in spite of the grumbling from the usual morons) I certainly will not recommend your services to anyone I know. twotter, Cat Driver, feel free.
Cheers.
twotter, what does it matter? Like I told Cat Driver once, it doesn't matter if I'm polite and civilized or rude and crude to you or him. You still attack me just as much and just as vile. The moderators haven't shown a desire to respond to your statements or Cat Drivers threats in the past. So I figured what the hell? You might say that I learned from you. When I reply to you I just think "what would twotter do?" It's a compliment really. Isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery? If I hurt your feelings, let me apologize. You're not a piece of dog shit. When I scrape dog shit off my shoe the smell goes away. Your stench just lingers forever.And you wonder why people don't like you. You are the first to complain about anyone saying anything bad about you but this is how you choose to reply..
