Seventh Year For The Flight School To Be So Recognized
For
the seventh time, Aerosim Flight Academy in central
Florida has won the FAA's prestigious Diamond Award, which is
presented annually to those organizations recognized for
safer and more proficient mechanics or technicians.
Traditionally, the Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) award
is given out to airlines. Aerosim Flight Academy is the only flight
school in the nation that holds this prestigious award. “We
are truly honored to be recognized by the FAA,” said Tom
Bruno, Director of Aircraft Maintenance. “What it’s
really about is our relationship with the FAA to promote continuing
education. We have always worked hard to build a strong partnership
with the FAA and together it’s about striving to be the best
technicians, delivering the safest aircraft and putting forth the
best work possible.”
Through the AMT Awards Program, the FAA recognizes eligible
technicians and employers by issuing awards to those who receive or
promote and foster initial and recurrent training. To increase the
incentive for management to fund training under the award program,
the FAA also recognizes employers who take a proactive role in
training their technical workforce. The AMT Awards program
encourages AMTs and employers to take advantage of initial and
recurrent training by issuing awards based on training received in
one calendar year.
The FAA spent a day at Aerosim Flight Academy last week honoring
the Orlando-Sanford based operation.
