“Everyone at Superior Air Parts is extremely pleased to
have Bob join our team,” said Superior Air Parts President,
Kent Abercrombie. “His extensive background and vast
experience with the inspection, repair, production and
certification of general aviation aircraft and engines will be a
tremendous asset to the production and support of our Vantage and
XP-Engines.”
“This is truly an exceptional opportunity and I’m
looking forward to some very exciting times,” Moseley said.
“I’ve used Superior’s Millennium Cylinders and
piece parts on my customers’ engines for years. The chance to
be part of the Superior team is something I am very proud
of.”
“Along with all of the practical experience Bob has gained
from working as an A&P and DAR, the most important skills he
brings to Superior now are the years he spent teaching aviation
maintenance technologies to technical college students,”
added Bill Blackwood, Superior’s Director of Quality
Assurance. “In addition to his role in overseeing the ongoing
technical support for our dealers and customers in the U.S. and
Europe, Bob will be teaching engine building skills to technicians
at all the Superior companies.”
Blackwood explained that Moseley will be developing the complete
training curriculum that will cover everything from incoming QC
inspections through assembly and running an engine on a test cell.
“The training will cover everything you need to know to
produce and support a Superior-built engine,” Blackwood
said.
“The opportunity to get back into teaching technicians the
special skills necessary to inspect, assemble, test and
troubleshoot piston engines is something I’m looking forward
to,” Moseley said. “Teaching is something I really
enjoy. And the opportunity to work with people who are truly
excited to learn makes it all that much more fun.”
Before joining Superior, Moseley was the owner of Skytek, Inc., a
general aviation aircraft maintenance facility. He was also the
owner of Mose Engines, which specialized in overhaul and repair
services for Teledyne and Lycoming engines.
Prior to opening Skytek, Moseley was a Factory Field Technical
Representative for Teledyne Continental Motors. During his career
he has held a number of positions as lead mechanic and maintenance
director for Part 135 charter operations, flight schools and
FBO’s. He also was an aviation technologies instructor at
Maple Wood Community College.
Blackwood said that along with his responsibilities as Technical
Support and Training manger, Moseley will be instrumental in
developing the curriculum for Superior Air Parts popular XP-Engine
Build Schools, which are held at its Coppell, Texas
headquarters.
