WHAT IS AED?
• As the FAA is to commercial aviation – AED is to most of Army Aviation
• Mission: “Deliver responsive airworthiness solutions throughout the system life cycle. Sustain the leadership and engineering expertise necessary to provide valued products to our aviation customers”

AIRWORTHINESS
• Definition: “The property of an air system configuration to safely attain, sustain, and complete flight in accordance with approved usage limits”
• Governed by Army Regulation 70-62– DA-G4 (LTG Mason) is the Airworthiness
Proponent• AMCOM CG (MG Collyar) is the Airworthiness
Authority– MG Collyar delegates to AED for the
majority of Army Aviation

THE BIG THREE
• Three Key Points I continue to drive home with the workforce and our customers.
– 1. We take our mission seriously, we don’t take ourselves seriously.
– 2. Our job is to get our customers to their finish line.
– 3. We want our customers to want us on their teams, not have to have us on their teams.

Transforming
• As a necessity due the Army’s role with MI-17 and furthered now with the adoption of DOD Directive 5030.61…– AED’s role now includes validating/verifying
processes rather than conducting detailed engineering data analysis when determining airworthiness acceptability of foreign airworthiness authorities.

WHAT LIES AHEAD
• Sequestration isn’t going away anytime soon• Our customer budgets are shrinking
– 80+ % of our money comes from our customers…• Continued “quality of life” pressures• Hiring freeze – so struggling to build the bench• All that said:
– AED will continue to make the choice to be happy and motivated.
– We are a proud organization that looks forward to continuing to provide quality and timely products to our customers.
