EASA has approved UK-based Gama Aviation’s maintenance training program for Beechcraft King Air 200- and 300-series turboprops. Training will be provided at Gama Aviation’s facilities in Bournemouth and Glasgow.
The Part 147 training program includes classroom sessions and hands-on practical training, “delivered by experienced instructors with extensive operational insight,” according to Gama Aviation.
Gama Aviation offers maintenance services for King Airs; Bombardier Challengers and Globals; Embraer Legacy 600/650s; and helicopters, including Airbus H145s and Leonardo AW139s and AW169s. The company’s Part 147 training operation continues to evaluate additions to its training portfolio to meet fleet requirements and customer demand.
“This approval demonstrates the strength of our training organization and the high standards we apply across every course we deliver,” said Gama Aviation Part 147 training manager Olusegun Johnson. “Our programs are designed to provide [maintenance] engineers with the knowledge, practical skills, and regulatory understanding required in today’s maintenance environment. By offering training in both Bournemouth and Glasgow, we are increasing flexibility for customers while maintaining the consistency and quality associated with Gama Aviation’s training provision.”
