During a recent visit
to Raytheon Aircraft Company, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) presented their Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Phase V
Diamond Award. The FAA's AMT awards program highlights the
importance of aviation safety and education for professionals
working within the industry, and specifically focuses on continued
training. In order to qualify for the award, an aviation company
must have at least 25 percent of their employees earn honors in the
FAA's approved AMT program during a given calendar year.
Raytheon Aircraft
Company far exceeded the minimum percentage, garnering 100 percent
participation from its repair station employees, earning the
company special recognition. This is the second special award
achieved by the company in 2 years.
In addition to the organization's recognition, each of the 188
repair station employees received individual AMT awards based on
the number of completed hours of FAA training. One hundred and four
participants received the bronze award, 53 received the silver
award, 10 received the gold award, 18 received the ruby award, and
three employees received the diamond award. Raytheon Aircraft
Company repair station employees amassed more than 4,000 hours of
FAA approved training in 2004.
"Raytheon Aircraft Company is committed to safety and continued
education for employees. This is just one of the many examples of
our employees working together to achieve a common goal," said Mark
Hokeness, Repair Station Accountable Manager.
