SNOHOMISH, Wash., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Soundair Repair Group, a licensed FAA Part 145 Repair Station, was presented with the Certificate of Excellence "Diamond Award" for exceeding the minimum AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) participation requirements for the FAA training program. They also received a Special Achievement commendation signed by FAA Administrator Marion Blakey for 100% AMT participation for five consecutive years. All eligible AMT's employed by Soundair Repair Group also received a Certificate of Training for having met the requirements of this FAA administered program.

In an effort to maintain the highest levels of aviation safety, The FAA Flight Standards Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Division (AFS-300) developed the AMT Awards Program to encourage AMT employees and employers to participate aggressively in available initial and recurrent training and classroom courses. William Shinn, Soundair's Principle Maintenance Inspector with FAA's Seattle Flight Standards District Office who presented the awards stated: "The FAA recognizes employees and employers by issuing awards to those who successfully complete and foster initial and recurrent training. We feel it is important that those technicians involved in aircraft maintenance continue to enhance their knowledge to increase the awareness of the issues important to aviation safety. To that extent, Soundair continues to keep this program as an important part of their business. They are with a select few Repair Stations nationwide, having accomplished these levels of participation for 5 years running."
