Criteria Committee

The Criteria Committee shall be responsible for the preparation of the criteria upon which all programs in aviation seeking accreditation or reaffirmation by AABI will be evaluated. Each year the Committee shall review all criteria and, where appropriate, shall recommend to the Board such changes as may be needed to improve upon the quality of aviation programs, the accreditation process, and the promulgation of criteria appropriate to the education of an aviation professional. All proposed changes in criteria relating to aviation programs shall be sent to the educator member representatives of AABI-accredited programs for comment by program faculty, students, and administrators (allowing an appropriate period of time for comment) prior to the proposed changes being adopted by the Board.
