FAA Renews JDA's Certification Consultant Agreement

The FAA has renewed JDA's Certification Consultant Agreement which allows it to assist new carriers with the process of becoming certified under Part 121 of U.S. FARs (federal air regulations), which covers airlines.  JDA's FAA recognition runs through October 2009.

In October 2005, JDA became one of only two aviation consulting firms to first meet the qualifications necessary to be recognized in this way.

In addition to having highly experienced personnel, JDA uses a proprietary procedure, called CertAssure, to guide applicants through the certification process.  The procedure also is used by JDA to help existing air carriers implement the FAA ATOS (air transport oversight system) and SMS (safety management system) programs.

JDA says it was instrumental in getting both Republic Airlines and Lynx Aviation (Frontier Express) certified as Part 121 air carriers under this program, and has also supported Piedmont Airlines, CJ Systems Aviation Group, and Sentient Flight Group with their ATOS/ system safety implementations.  03-11-2008.
