AIRFIELD MARKING PROFESSIONAL (AMP) CERTIFICATE TRAINING
Needless to say, the safety and efficiency of airfield operations at any airport is very important. The airfield marking system is a fundamental component of operational safety at every airport providing a critical function: to convey accurate information to pilots and drivers to safely navigate the airfield. The overall performance of the pavement markings determines the quality of information being received.
Therefore, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifies the following in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5340-1M, Standards for Airfield Markings:
FAA AC 150/5340-1, Paragraph 1.3.8. "Personnel involved in the application of airfield surface markings should complete training which includes surface preparation, removal and application of surface markings, and maintenance standards."
The AMP Certificate Program was developed to meet and exceed this guidance. Once your team is AMP'd, you can maximize the efficiency of your program and improve overall performance, FAA compliance, and airfield safety.
