NAS9945-2, Airworthiness Engineering Training & Education

NAS9945-2 Objective: Development of an AIA/NAS American National Standard based on NAS9945-2 – REV NEW to align with the most recent revision of NAS9945.

Scope: NAS9945-2 was published in 2022 with the following scope: “NAS9945-2 is part of a series of National Aerospace Standards (NAS9945, NAS9945-1, NAS9945-2, NAS9945-3 and NAS9945-4) for airworthiness engineering (AWE) training and education. NAS9945-2 provides instructional content guidance focused on civil aviation for colleges and universities in the US with the aim of providing guidance for educating engineering students in the concepts and principles of aircraft certification and airworthiness engineering. As a second aim, this document focuses on certification and airworthiness training for professional advancement of working engineers and technicians in the aerospace community who are involved with the certification and continuing airworthiness of civilian aircraft through the activities of design, manufacturing, and/or maintenance.” This project will revise and update NAS9945-2 as a part of a 5-year procedural review. This document is being proposed as an American National Standard to increase the pool of stakeholders involved in development and align with its parent document NAS9945 (ANS).
