Industry Experience That You Can Count On

Dave Broughton is the principal behind DB Aerospace Solutions, and is a recently retired FAA Aviation Safety Inspector (after 30 years experience in aviation and quality control agencies). He spent 18 years with the FAA in the Headquarters Airworthiness and Production Division, AIR-200, which is responsible for the research and development of national policies, public guidance documents, and regulations revolving around Certification Procedures for aircraft and aeronautical products and parts [Reference 14 Code of Federal Regulation, parts 21, 45, and 43].

He was the lead project manager in the early stages of the proposed parts 21 and 45 ruling that worked with industries associations. Dave also was the project manager responsible for the revisions and issuance of the FAA Order 8130.21, and was instrumental on the industry-wide team which worked on the ATA Spec 2000 Chapter 16, Electronic Documentation, which defines the basis for the technology used in the new electronic recordkeeping now allowed for FAA 8130-3's (more information, 8130 Training website).
