At the 68th Annual Conference, we are anticipating the following classes for your professional development.  The classes are offered to expand your expertise as a Mass Properties Engineer (MPE), so we hope that SAWE members will take classes in fields other than their own area of expertise or industry.  The classes consist of lectures, exercises, and discussion.  Each student will receive a copy of the training materials and a certificate upon completion.  Some classes require that students bring their own laptop.

The two day class number 5601, Aircraft Weight & Balance, will not be offered at the 2009 SAWE International Conference.  The training committee suggests that a combination of Class 5602, Introduction to Aircraft Weighing and Class 6601, Automated Weight and Balance System (AWBS) could be used to garner much of the information presented in Class 5601.  If you are a company and have more than five personnel required to take Class 5601, it is further suggested you contact SAWE Training for information on On-Site Training available for Class 5601, Aircraft Weight & Balance.
