Section 2 - Seal of the Board of Aeronautical Engineering.

There shall be a seal to be used by the Board authenticate its official

documents. This seal which shall be circular in shape with maximum
diameter of 48 millimeters (1-7/8 inches) shall bear a design consisting of an
airplane wing section with shock waves attached to its leading and trailing
edges (leading edge at the right). Near the leading edge of the wing section
is an atom having four (4) orbiting electrons the airplane wing section here
represents an aircraft. The atom as a whole symbolizes engineering activity
with its four (4) orbiting electrons signifying the four (4) major activity /
areas in the practice of aeronautical engineering, these shock waves, which
are normally created about a body moving in air speeds way above the
speed of flight condition symbolic of the fact that aeronautical engineering
is a dynamic and progressive profession. Between the two (2) concentric
circles along the circumference of the seal shall be inscribed the words
"Professional Regulation Commission" and Board of Aeronautical
Engineering" at the upper and the lower portion of the circumference
respectively.
 ARTICLE I - Definition of Terms
Section 3 - Seal of the Aeronautical Engineering.

A seal shall likewise be used by a registered aeronautical engineer to

authenticate all official documents in the pursuit of his profession. Except
for the inscriptions on the seal in the preceding section, the seal of the
aeronautical engineer shall have the same basic design, meaning, and size as
that of the Board. The words "Aeronautical Engineer" shall be inscribed on
the upper portion of the circumference of the seal with the words
"Philippines" on the lower portion of the circumference. Slight below the
center of the seal shall be printed horizontally the full name of the engineer.
His corresponding registration number shall also appear in a horizontal line
above his name.
ARTICLE II Registration of Aeronautical Engineers
Section 1. Registration with Examination.

Unless exempted from taking the licensure examination under Section

20 of PD 1570, all applicants for registration for the practice of aeronautical
engineering shall be required to take and pass the said examination
conducted jointly by the Commission and the Board once a year at a date
and place to be set by the Commission.

applicant at least five (5) years as of June 11, 1970, which shall be issued
and signed under oath by the employer/Department Head confirmed or
by the Registrar/ any authorized official of an educational institution
from whom said practice was acquired.
ARTICLE II Registration of Aeronautical Engineers
c) Certification of Proficiency which shall be issued and signed under oath
by his employer or immediate superior, preferably member of good
standing of the recognized professional organization of aeronautical
engineers of the Philippines, and shall indicate that the applicant could
be entrusted to perform or render professional aeronautical engineering
service. If self-employed, the applicant shall sign under oath and submit
a documented report on a design, device, or project of aeronautical
engineering value which made, or a technical paper or report, project of
feasibility study, treaties, and thesis on any aeronautical engineering
subject which he authored.
