By Janice Wood · April 28, 2010 ·

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has named Joe Sambiase manager of airworthiness and maintenance. In this new position, Sambiase is responsible for GAMA’s activities related to regulatory requirements governing the airworthiness, production and maintenance of general aviation airplanes.

Prior to joining GAMA, Sambiase was employed by Compass Airlines, where he participated in the company’s part 121 air carrier certification process. He was later appointed to a lead position for new aircraft deliveries where he worked directly with the manufacturers. He has also held positions with US Airways, Independence Air and Jet Aircraft Maintenance. He acquired his airframe and power plant (A&P) license from the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics.
