FAA 14 CFR 139.321 Training Goes Online

The LSAT has made its way into the GA industry, but graduates of this course are not destined for law jobs.

FBO supervisors can take FAA 14 CFR 139.321 training online through Aviation Continuing Education Inc. (ACE). The Line Service Annual Training (LSAT) program covers all Fuel Safety and Inspection Program sections designated for supervisors at Part 139 certificated airports, according to Jay Shanley, ACE spokesman. It also covers several Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements.

Alternatively, ACE's "At Your Location" service began Feb. 1, 2008. ACE teams travel to clients' locations and teach the same LSAT program available online.

"By contracting with ACE we will train multiple employees for less than the cost to send two students to class (off site)," Shanley said. "Your fuel handlers meet their training requirements. You have multiple certifications in house, and you save money. FBOs can train more people for the same dollar thereby having more personnel certified in house as a hedge against employee attrition."

By year's end, ACE will offer other FAA-required training programs online, Shanley added. Look for courses in Wildlife Management, Air Operations Area (AOA) Driving and Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER).
