The go-to name in aviation training? It’s FlightSafety International. The name resonates within the industry as the best training available, and companies and flight departments depend on the quality of skills learned from its instructors, preparing aviation professionals for anything.
Beyond the cockpit, FlightSafety’s range of services expands outside of operators flying the aircraft. FlightSafety has trained the best maintenance technicians in aviation, passing on decades of experience from its expert instructors to technicians.
The result shows up in the work technicians like you do every day, keeping aircraft airworthy and reducing downtime for operations. You provide an immense value to the aircraft and flight operations, while your skilled work keeps aviation running smoothly.
Relationships Shape Maintenance Training
FlightSafety continually advances its training with innovation, including through collaboration with OEMs who they have built relationships with over decades.
FlightSafety is working hand-in-hand with the aircraft manufacturers to craft curriculum and practical training. These advanced, hands-on aircraft maintenance training programs leverage the OEMs’ knowledge of aircraft design, manufacture and support with FlightSafety’s world-class training expertise. This collaboration results in greater standardization of maintenance practices in the field, as well as improved aircraft reliability.
As a technician, you are immersed in a learning environment specifically designed to replicate real-life service issues and events. Instruction is reinforced by walking through actual problems being experienced by operators.
Hand-in-Hand with OEMs
Along with aircraft manufacturers, FlightSafety works closely with Pratt & Whitney Canada and Honeywell Aerospace to develop the most effective possible training, based on real-world experience and mechanical expertise.
Training is available on the full range of P&WC engines, including turboprop, turbofan and turboshaft – and P&WC APU/APS. By working closely with Pratt & Whitney Canada, FlightSafety offers better ways to reinforce classroom knowledge and expand troubleshooting capabilities. You learn on full-scale systems trainers, maintenance task simulators, test equipment, major component cutaways and working models to master skills.
Are you maintaining Honeywell Aerospace products? Learn up-to-date techniques and procedures to work on Honeywell engines, APUs, avionics, environmental controls and satcom systems. Courseware designers and subject matter experts work closely with Honeywell to develop new courses and ensure the most current courseware.
Instruction Tailored to Needs
FlightSafety instructors have always incorporated a mix of classroom and hands-on instruction, to give you a complete range of information necessary to develop, expand or refine proficiency. Interactive applied training reinforces the lessons learned and gives students an opportunity to hone their skills.
By working directly with the manufacturers, FlightSafety is able to provide courses and practical models that exactly show what is needed for skill mastery. As aircraft, engines and components change so do our courses. Trust that you are working with up-to-date equipment that you will find in the hangar. If there’s a specific need for your flight department, we will tailor courseware and curriculum to meet it.
Technology Advances Training
In addition to training at FlightSafety learning centers, online training is offered to accommodate your busy schedule. With robust libraries of instructor-led LiveLearning and self-paced eLearning courses, you have access to superior instruction from your computer.
The list of available maintenance courses has expanded, including aircraft-specific maintenance initial and update, avionics, advanced troubleshooting, operational maintenance procedures and engine run and taxi. Engine training courses include repair and maintenance, line and base, borescope and engine condition trend monitoring. Non-aircraft specific programs include principal of troubleshooting, avionics, Aircraft Electronic Technicians (AED), dangerous goods handling, aeroIT maintenance, maintenance resource management (MRM), and safety management systems (SMS). Management courses include leadership elements for aviation professionals, next level interpersonal leadership and professional skill. LiveLearning courses cover thorough instruction on maintaining 11 aircraft and engine types, where you can work directly with instructors from their locations.
FlightSafety also has the Virtual Aircraft, an immersive 3D learning experience aimed to assist students and instructors in exploring the aircraft within the classroom as if they were out on the flight line. With Virtual Aircraft, you are situated within a real-life contextual environment with the aircraft appropriately scaled in both size and depth. Interactions with the aircraft’s various components are true to life and happening in real time. This immersive media leads to greater levels of knowledge retention and an increase in transferable skill, building confidence and competency in operation.
FlightSafety’s Virtual Engine Trainers provide real-time, interactive, and animated models of Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. Virtual Engine Trainers allow instructors and students to view the engine and the many individual components in any position or system grouping and even conduct practical maintenance procedures such as part replacement. X-ray and move functionality further enable students to view dynamic cross-sections into nearly every engine part. Borescope inspection training is also available with typical wear and tear simulated throughout the engine, allowing you to practice damage assessment and engine dispatchability.
Committed to Personal Development
FlightSafety can assist you in planning for your next career steps. FlightSafety Master Technician Training Program offers a five-step, type-specific career development path. This comprehensive training program complements the experience gained from day-to-day operations while increasing knowledge and refining skills. After successfully completing the courses, schedules and examinations, you will join the elite group of Master Technicians, which publicly acknowledges superior performance and technical proficiency
This innovative and unique program is designed to enable maintenance technicians to further enhance their contributions to the safety, reliability and operating efficiency of the aircraft or components you support and maintain. It focuses on six major areas of instruction: airframe, avionics, cabin systems, composites, engine-specific and management.
The Master Technician training program develops more advanced skills at every level, producing higher standards for the technician and flight operations, improving safety, lowering operational costs and increasing aircraft dispatch reliability.
Industry demand is high for the more than 5,000 Master Technicians who have been trained worldwide. Peers and employers recognize the value you provide to flight departments and aviation as a whole.
