Standardized Composite Training ProgramAIR6671 (Current)6/17/2025
This AIR provides means of developing a composite training program, as stipulated by FAA AC 20-107B, FAA AC 65-33A, EASA AMC 20-29, and other similar regulatory guidance. Its approach is a comprehensive, sequential training curriculum build-up, customized to the specific needs of the organization (see Figure 2). It contains recommendations for the skill-building, training, and qualification of persons involved in the design, fabrication, maintenance, and repair of aircraft composite structures or other aviation composite components. It further addresses the qualification of administrative personnel and instructors. Flight operations are usually not in the scope of an SAE CACRC Standard; however, the recommendations of this report may be used also for this target audience. This report addresses persons responsible for the definition of training, qualification and authorization, or the supervision of aviation personnel. Its content intends to facilitate the development of a formal composite training program which describes the means to train, qualify, and authorize the organization’s personnel. SAE CACRC has produced several training standard documents, each representing the best-practice, recommended minimum training syllabus for its targeted audience. The purpose of this report is to promote the use of these training standards for developing training programs for employees in airlines and maintenance organizations, and as reference in regulatory guidance material. It provides a quick reference to the SAE CACRC training standard documents (see 2.1.1). Thereby, it allows its users to either develop appropriate in-house trainings or to select external training providers and courses that acceptably conform with the syllabi covered by the SAE CACRC training standard documents. It also supports the organization to recognize existing training records of individuals by comparing their equivalence with these standards. This report does not intend to introduce new training content/syllabus. This report does not intend to establish a licensing standard.

Coupled Automotive Refrigerant Air-Conditioning Hose AssembliesJ2064_202104 (Current)4/28/2021
The scope of SAE J2064 covers coupled hose assemblies intended for containing and circulating lubricant, liquid, and gaseous R-134a, R-152a, and/or R-1234yf refrigerant in automotive air-conditioning systems. Historically, requirements for the hose used in coupled automotive refrigerant air conditioning assemblies was included in SAE J2064. SAE J2064 has been changed to establish the requirements for factory and field coupled hose assemblies. SAE J3062 has been issued to define requirements for the hose used in these assemblies into its own standard. SAE J2064 also provides the necessary values used in SAE J2727. The certified coupling of MAC hose assemblies is required in meeting certain regulatory requirements. A hose which has met the requirements of SAE J3062 and certified in SAE J2911 shall be used as part of the coupled assembly. A hose which meets the requirements of SAE J3062 does not ensure the assembly will meet the requirements of SAE J2064. It is the hose assembly manufacturer’s responsibility to confirm that the assemblies meet the specified acceptance criteria for this specification. The hose assembly shall be designed to minimize permeation of the refrigerant, contamination of the system, and to be functional over a temperature range of -30 to 125 °C. Specific construction details are to be agreed upon between user and supplier. Bulk hose produced prior to the release of this standard in 2015 could be labeled “SAE J2064” and may not meet the requirements of SAE J3062.

Pumping EV heat21AUTP04_054/1/2021
Heat-pump technology is a game-changer for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, says a service-tech training expert and EV owner. The Automotive Career Development Center (ACDC) that I founded over 20 years ago provides training and tech support to the world's independent electric-vehicle (EV and hybrid) technicians, who will be asked to fix and maintain the systems as they age. Our facility in central Massachusetts includes a variety of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery-electric vehicles (BEV) that we use for both teaching and research. It has also supported my own investigations into cabin-heater technology and its annoying “your range may vary” impact on BEV use in northern climates. This curiosity began when I bought a new 2011 Chevrolet Volt to add to the ACDC fleet. The Volt, a series-type hybrid, has an electric-only range of about 35 miles (56 km) in ideal thermal conditions. If I drive back roads at 35 mph (56 km/h), the Volt may deliver 40 miles (64 km) of pure-electric use before the combustion engine kicks in. During winter, however, that EV range plummets to less than 20 miles (32 km).

A Need for Processes that Future Proof the Fiber Optic Installation2013-01-21819/17/2013
The tenets of IEC 61300-3-35 have influenced and contributed to numerous standards. These include: a.) the importance of cleaning the fiber optic connection, b.) the concept of diameter of debris or contamination, and, c.) the area of the end face to be cleaned, d.) methods of cleaning. As capacity and bandwidth expand, deployments updated, and new technicians trained, a clear understanding of several other tenets of precision cleaning the connection may also be considered. There are many types of debris and contamination. Some are dry Figure-1 and others are fluidic Figure-2. Debris on an end face may also be present in combination Figure-3. The cleaning procedure should strive to be a first time event. A best practice procedure can be identified that does not require multiple techniques and numerous attempts. Dry, fluidic, or combinations of contaminants also have height Figure-4.(12) Commonly used cleaning techniques can create fluidic contamination outside the field of view of most video inspection and software analysis Figure-5. Another technique can create a static field that attracts additional debris Figure-1.(8) There are well established tenets, present in everyday life, that point the direction to properly cleaning the fiber optic connection. Dry wipers, use of solvents and surfactants, and identification of debris or contamination are every-day choices. These are relevant to precision clean a fiber optic connection. Ineffective cleaning fiber optic cleaning procedures may result in debris being mis-characterized as an artifact. Currently, IEC 61300-3-35 is relative to both production line applications (OEM) and field service (OSP) applications. Various standards are based on IEC. In this work the term OEM refers to Original Equipment Manufacturer or a production line environment. The term OSP refers to Outside Plant/Field Service, or the installation and the post production line maintenance environment. This paper is an effort to define and update inspection and cleaning procedures to facilitate existing operations and anticipate future needs.

An Industry Prepares Service Technicians for Refrigerant Transition2010-01-10614/12/2010
Under increasing pressure to address global warming concerns, the use of HFC-134a refrigerant in mobile air conditioning in European Union (EU) countries will be phased out starting January 1, 2011. HFC-134a has a 100 year global warming potential value (GWP) of 1430 according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 4th Assessment Report (AR4). Under the new EU F-Gas regulation, replacement refrigerants must have a GWP less than 150. In anticipation of the need for lower direct GWP refrigerant and to stay current with available technologies, the global automotive industry has been working on replacing HFC-134a for over 10 years. Various industry stakeholders have participated in this transition process, making the transition a global effort. While much of the preparation done by vehicle OEM's and MAC suppliers to support this transition has been presented in other papers, work streams focusing on technician training have not been presented in white paper form. This paper focuses on work led by the Mobile Air-Conditioning Society Worldwide (MACS Worldwide), in developing new technician training and procedures that address unique servicing aspects, to reduce direct refrigerant emissions during the mobile A/C system lifetime.

A run-flat futureAUTOAPR05_164/1/2005
SAE100Future look:Tires have come a long way since Harvey Firestone started the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company at the turn of the 20th century and Shojiro Ishibashi founded Bridgestone Tire in 1931. The one thing that has not changed is the legacy of these two pioneers: our company's endless pursuit of technological advancements that continue to drive today's modern tire technology and design. Regardless of the type of vehicle-sedan, truck, minivan, SUV, or concept car-all share one thing in common: tires. And because tires are the only part of the vehicle connecting with the road, it is impossible to overstate their importance. The most advanced technology in today's tires is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Changing I/M Performance Objectives9708102/24/1997
Recent changes in state I/M (Inspection/Maintenance) programs have significantly changed diagnosis and repair procedures. For many states, electronic engine controls require some form of loaded-mode I/M test. The static tests developed in the 1970s for carburetors and points/condenser ignition do not satisfactorily differentiate between modern clean and dirty cars. What do these changes mean to I/M technicians, specifically in High Enhanced areas? How do we define a “qualified” I/M technician? Many states are taking different approaches to I/M technician training, and individual states are redefining a “qualified service technician”. Such programs with overlaps have serious implications for technician training, OEM and aftermarket, with probable state/state variations Inevitable future changes in engine-management technology, state I/M programs, and vehicle fuels require a flexible dynamic approach to training and certification of technicians. What each technician understands about the “I”--and can successfully troubleshoot and repair the “M”-will be vital to cleaner air and the future image of the service/repair industry.

The Development of Advanced Technician Training to Meet the Demands of Enhanced Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Program Implementation9617018/1/1996
In December 1995, the Province of British Columbia announced the introduction of more stringent automobile emissions standards for vehicles sold in the province commencing with the 1998 model year. The emissions standards are based on the model utilized by the State of California as outlined in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. In addition, the Federal Government of Canada has announced that the British Columbia standards may be adopted on a national basis. This announcement, coupled with other initiatives outlined by the Province of British Columbia in its Clean Air Strategy has provided the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) with the opportunity to develop an advanced training program on automobile emissions to ensure a knowledge base needed to meet the demands of implementation of enhanced inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs in the North America. This paper will discuss the outline of the proposed course.

Can Auto Technicians be Trained to Repair IM240 Emission Failures?9600912/1/1996
Eleven experienced commercial automotive technicians were recruited and trained to repair IM240 emission failures using a specially developed 30 hour course. The training course emphasized the use of an oscilloscope and a flow chart and wave form strategy to repair vehicles. Each technicians' performance was evaluated based on the repair of three or four in-use Arizona IM240 failures. Pre-training and post-training written tests were also administered. Results from this limited study were encouraging. After the technician training, HC and CO emission levels were reduced by 69% and NOx by 58%. More importantly, most of the technicians learned some new and useful diagnostic and equipment skills which they can immediately apply to their businesses. They also became more motivated to tackle the challenge of repairing vehicles to low transient emissions, and aware of the existence and use of new sophisticated diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes. This is manifested dramatically in the decision of six out of eleven participants to spend (out of their own pockets in some cases) $2,000 to $3,000 on new equipment such as oscilloscopes.
