22 May 2013 - CTL’s Technical Director, Jim Cockram, was invited to speak on Airworthiness and Innovation at a major Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) conference in London on 21 May 2013.  The conference, entitled “Airworthiness, Innovation, Regulation and the Aircraft Engineer ” examined how ongoing changes are affecting the way we maintain aircraft and assure continued airworthiness and, in particular, it focused on the challenges facing the aircraft maintenance engineer.  

Jim, who is a Fellow of the RAeS, presented as the first guest speaker, and his presentation concentrated on the ‘Real Challenges of Innovation in Airworthiness and Maintenance’.  His presentation concluded that while there is some great innovation in maintenance activities, and that companies are striving to be world class, unfortunately cultural and contractual issues thwart innovation progress and exploitation throughout.  More information on the whole conference can be found at the RAeS website on its Airworthiness and Maintenance Group page.
