Randy was raised in an aviation family. His father was an aircraft mechanic in WWII and his mother was
a “Rosie the Riveter” at the Georgia Air Depot (Warner Robins Air Force Base). His father went on to
work for Pioneer Airlines as an aircraft mechanic after the war and after his death in 1955, Randy’s
mother went to work for American Airlines and retired in 1986 after 30 years of service. Randy started
his aircraft maintenance training in high school, then joined the US Army to complete his education. He
served as an aircraft mechanic (Crew Chief on UH-1 B and D models) and never forgot what it was like
to be in the back seat relying on the skills and professional judgement of the pilots upfront. He re-enlisted
in 1969 and became a Rated Aircraft Maintenance Technician (pilot) in the army and after two tours in
Vietnam and nearly seven years of military service resigned to pursue a career in the civil industry as an
aircraft mechanic and helicopter pilot.
In his 19 years of civil aviation he obtained 9,875 flight hours as pilot-in-command conducting on-
demand charter, air tours, flight instruction, initial attack/firefighting operations, helicopter Class B and C
vertical reference external load operations, transmission power line patrol and construction, domestic
portable oil exploration (seismic) operations, timber harvesting, search and rescue, aerial photo and
survey operations with the majority of these operations conducted in mountainous terrain and high
altitude operations in Alaska and Western US. During this time, he performed duties as a mechanic
supporting field operations and in shops conducting repairs/overhauls, line pilot, Chief Pilot (Part 133 and
135 operations), Director of Operations for commercial operations conducted under Part 135 and as an
owner operator of small helicopter company conducting Part 91, 133 and 135 commercial operations.
In 1992 he returned to Federal service as a helicopter pilot for Western Area Power Administration and
two years later, promoted to Aviation Maintenance Policy Officer for the US Department of Energy
(DOE). In 1995, again his commercial business and aviation expertise and leadership were rewarded with
a promotion to Aviation Safety Inspector, and eventually to Aviation Policy Officer. DOE created the
Office of Aviation Management (OAM) in 1999. He played a critical role in the development and
implementation of this office, charged with ensuring safety, security, efficiency and effectiveness of DOE
aviation programs. His colleagues have said, 'Randy Stewart is the individual who is responsible for
developing the OAM policies, procedures, and processes. The impacts of his accomplishments are
extensive and it is because of Mr. Stewart's efforts that DOE essentially 'set the bar’ for other Federal
Agencies’ aviation programs'1
. In January of 2009 he joined Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) as
the Manager of Aircraft Services and accomplished far-reaching goals in improving that organization.
Among many other accomplishments, he achieved a 99% reduction in DOE aviation program audit
findings and brought Aircraft Services into full compliance with GSA, DOE, BPA and FAA Part 133 and
135 requirements. His colleagues said, ‘The undertaking has been substantial, but not compared to his
leadership, tenacity and the integrity with which he performed his job. The commitment he demonstrated
to improving safety protocols and increasing efficiencies has been invaluable to BPA's aviation program.
Both BPA and DOE have benefited from his leadership and skill and his reputation for a commitment to
excellence and dedication to seeing improvements through to implementation is well-deserved.’1

CERTIFICATES
He holds an Airline Transport Pilot rating - Rotorcraft, Commercial pilot rating in Rotorcraft with
a Helicopter Instrument rating, has held a Certified Flight Instructor rating - Rotorcraft, and
holds Airframe and Power Plant Certificates and for many years held an Inspection Authorization.
In addition to his flight and maintenance experience he went on to continue his formal education and
gained working experience in safety management, training program development, quality assurance, and
aircraft accident and incident investigation with certifications by the Department of Energy and National
Transportation Safety Board in Accident Investigation, Aircraft Accident Investigation, and
Helicopter Accident Investigation. He is a member of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) and an
accredited IS-BAO Auditor for Helicopter Operations and Maintenance, HAI-APS Lead Auditor,
and Certified ASQ Certified Quality Auditor (CQA).
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 Provided the leadership, using the principles of integrated safety management, and his technical
expertise developed DOE’s aviation management, safety, operations, and security policies,
requirements, and procedures. The DOE policies included compliance with the FAA civil
airworthiness, maintenance, training and operations regulations, resulting in a 99.7 percent reduction
in fatal aircraft accidents and 87 percent reduction in aircraft accidents. Providing the safest period of
DOE contracted and in-house aircraft operations in the 62-year history of the DOE.
 Provided the leadership and technical guidance for development of DOE’s aviation quality assurance
and oversight program.
o Developed the DOE's Office of Aviation Management protocols for conducting audits, reporting
procedures and tracking of corrective actions.
o Conducted Quality assurance safety audits- lead auditor and/or participant in 350 plus civil and
government aircraft operations (foreign and domestic) resulting in a 99.7 percent compliance to
regulations, safety policies and procedures for contract and in-house operations.
o Participant or lead investigator for 3 fatal aviation accidents; 2 non-fatal aviation accidents; and 5
aircraft incidents leading to corrective actions to prevent accidents and incidents.
 Chaired, Joint Airworthiness Operations Task Force (JAOTF), Interagency Committee for Aviation
Policy (ICAP), from 1995 to 1998, resulting in development of Federal Flight Safety Standard
guidelines adopted by 18 Federal agencies following 1995 revision of law.
o Provided the leadership and technical guidance for a Maintenance Review Board (MRB) leading
to the development of FAA approved maintenance and inspection programs for UH-1 series, OH-
58 series and OH-6 military surplus aircraft.
 Developed and implemented the first Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations, safety and
airworthiness guidance and policies for a Federal agency, outside of the Department of Defense.
o Developed Aviation Safety Reviews (risk assessments) to identify administrative and engineering
controls to manage the risk in UAS operations.
o Researched, verified and documented the minimum airworthiness standards for UAS over 500
pounds, that contributed to the development of the DoD "Airworthiness Certification Criteria"
(MIL-HDBK-516) Handbook.
o Led the development of multiple Certificate of Authorizations submitted to the FAA for UAS
operations.
