Pedersen successfully completed the EASA Part 21 Subpart G – Production Organisation Approval (POA) Essentials – training last year, at Baines Simmons Aviation Safety Academy in the UK. The first audit will be conducted together with a member of the quality management of SAAB Avionics, as a mentor.
“We have been cooperating with SAAB Avionics for many years; the new responsibility represents a broadening of our relations. Elmatica has been auditing manufacturers since the 1980s and we have developed a unique methodology for how to audit, a methodology which with these new learnings will be even more precise and efficient," said Pedersen.
