AMC Chair-AMC Steering Committee. The Aviation Maintenance Conference (AMC) contributes to increased reliability and maintainability which results in reduced operating costs for aircraft components and aircraft electronic systems. These contributions are achieved through the internationally acclaimed Aviation Maintenance Conference and the development of technical standards.Attended by more than 750 avionics and mechanical maintenance experts from around the world, the annual conference identifies technical solutions to maintenance issues resulting in immediate and long-term maintenance improvements and cost savings.The AMC is an air transport industry activity organized by ARINC Industry Activities. The objectives of AMC are to promote reliability and reduced operating cost in air transport aircraft components by improving maintenance and support techniques through the exchange of technical information.AMC consists of representatives from the technical leadership of the air transport avionics and mechanical maintenance community. The voting membership of AMC consists of the representatives of commercial air transport operators.AMC accomplishes its objectives through a number of activities including the annual Aviation Maintenance Conference, known worldwide as the AMC; Steering Committee meetings, Plane Talk®, a quarterly newsletter; standards activities; and liaison with the AEEC and with other aviation or electronic industry activities.AMC promotes improved avionics and mechanical reliability and performance at lower life-cycle cost through the coordination of common technical problems in the airlines. AMC saves the industry significant money each year through participation in the annual Aviation Maintenance Conference. AMC also tracks developing maintenance issues and new products and makes inputs to or develops guidance to maintain safe aircraft with lower life-cycle costs.
