Aircraft owners and flight departments know that there are two major factors that contribute the most to operations costs: fuel and maintenance. While there is no way around burning fuel to use an aircraft or a fluctuation in fuel costs, there is a way to see significant savings in aircraft maintenance.
Highly trained maintenance technicians like you provide an immense value to aircraft and flight operations. As a skilled expert, you know how to make sure needed maintenance and repairs are done correctly and on schedule, reducing downtimes and getting aircraft back into service faster.
Keeping aircraft operating efficiently and dependably allows them to get back to its primary use: either generating revenue in some fashion or creating a productive means for companies and individuals to conduct business and save time.
No other aviation training company provides the diversity in maintenance offerings like FlightSafety International, the leader in producing expert, confident and prepared technicians and boosting your skills.
An Ideal Balance of Classroom and Hands-On
FlightSafety’s training goes beyond the basics. It is the difference between “good enough” and “best of the best.” And training the best leads to a more efficient maintenance department so aircraft are serviced correctly the first time, faster, and as frequently as required.
Maintenance initial and update courses are available for professional technicians, developed in close collaboration with the aircraft manufacturers. Training begins with in-depth classroom instruction, then FlightSafety’s interactive applied training reinforces the lessons you learn. This approach crafts the ideal balance in instruction between academic knowledge and practical experience.
Technicians for some of the largest business and commercial aircraft, engine and APU manufacturers develop their skills with FlightSafety. When working on a type-specific airframe, you gain the confidence of handling those exact models in training. Full-scale mockups of engines and other components allow you to develop the knowledge needed to do it right the first time, identifying and solving problems that are likely to arise. Technicians receive training on the latest avionics systems, stretching from the fundamental core components to tomorrow’s next-generation communication and navigation systems that are increasingly vital to business aviation.
Aside from model or aircraft specific courses, learn in a training environment where you are valued as troubleshooters and problem solvers. The range of courses includes training on areas outside of tool-based work, focusing on human factors crew resource management, leadership and working with specific hazardous materials or cold weather operations.
All of that creates a more efficient shop, where aircraft are ready to go when they’re needed.
Technology Moves Maintenance Forward
Working with Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC), FlightSafety has taken a page from computer games and the virtual world. An innovative training technology allows you to view an engine, interactively, and explore it down to the component level.
This cutting-edge technology improves efficiency, allows for practical instruction for all technicians, in an immersive, thorough training environment. You will benefit in ways beyond what traditional instruction can deliver.
The development team took cues from advanced, computer-based technology – similar to what someone might experience with next-generation virtual or augmented reality. In the same way video game players have been able to manipulate items within the game on multiple axes, the virtual engine trainer (VET) allows instructors and students to view the engine and the many individual components in any position or system grouping, in 3D and complete clarity.
Physical engines are heavy with difficult-to-move components. Using VETs, you have access to a degree of interactivity that isn’t possible with physical units. With these new methods, technicians gain a precise familiarity through interactive engine cutaways, seeing how the components and gearing work together.
Further efficiencies are gained by online course offerings, allowing you to hone skills through self-directed eLearning or virtual classroom LiveLearning curriculum. Enjoy optimal flexibility and accessibility and engage your team with a powerful online experience, with real-time opportunities and world-class instructors.
Invested in Success
FlightSafety trains for more than just the physical work by offering a path for career development through the Master Technician program. The five-step program allows technicians to shine with your expertise and be recognized by your peers and the industry.
Choose training that develops your skills, building pride in your work. Be recognized for your leadership in ensuring aircraft maintenance that is actually aircraft preparedness. Getting aircraft ready, minimizing downtime and providing the key to well-functioning flight operations.
