FL Technics Training Starts Ab Initio Mechanic Program

Lithuania’s FL Technics Training is instituting an ab initio program designed to bring new personnel into the aviation field. When it begins in January, the program will provide comprehensive aircraft maintenance training in accordance with EASA requirements.

Kestutis Volungevicius, head of FL Technics Training, said, “Due to historical circumstances, aviation hasn’t been the most popular profession in the majority of Eastern and Central European countries over the past two decades, with youth preferring management, economics, business and other related studies. As a result, today, local aviation industries feel the lack of not only qualified personnel, but also those who will replace the current generation of aircraft engineers, mechanics, NDT-specialists and so on. For that reason we have developed a technical training program specially for aviation enthusiasts from around the world.”

The 36-month training program will cover all the basic courses required to qualify as an aircraft mechanic. Graduates of the program, conducted at FL Technics Training’s study centers in Vilnius and Kaunas, Lithuania, will have an opportunity to join FL Technics and work at one of the company’s aircraft maintenance centers in Lithuania, as well as throughout its line maintenance network across Europe, the CIS and Asia-Pacific.
