Paragon Network announced that 18 of its member FBOs have completed Gulfstream ground handling and service training. A joint effort of the airframer and FlightSafety International, the program covers all midsize and large-cabin Gulfstream jets. It includes specialized content for the fleet intended to enhance operational efficiency.
The training modules cover the product line from G150 through the G800, the latter of which is anticipated to receive FAA certification this year. They focus on parking, towing, and tiedown; safety procedures such as fueling protocols and ice removal; maintenance services, including lavatory and water servicing and window cleaning; and operational best practices with demonstrations.
On the list of companies that completed the advanced training are Business Jet Center (KDAL), Castle & Cooke Aviation (KHNL), Chantilly Air Jet Center (KHEF), Clay Lacy Aviation (KSNA and KOXC), ExecuJet (OMDB, OMDW, LEIB, LEBL, LEGE, LEVC, and TNCM), Fargo Jet Center (KFAR), Henriksen Jet Center (KEDC), National Jets (KFLL), Premier Jet Center (KFCM), Samson Aviation Services (EGNT), and Metro Air Services (KCEF).
“Proper quality training is essential for maintaining safety and dispatch reliability,” said Paragon Aviation Group president Crystal Kubeczka. “The completion of this training marks a significant milestone for our FBO partners and reflects our unwavering commitment to safety and quality in service delivery.”
