"Our Master Technician-certified employees, representing every
one of our service center locations, have earned this mark of
excellence in their field, and we are very proud of them all," said
Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. "Our customers
recognize the Master Technician designation as an important and
valued accomplishment. It adds to their confidence in Gulfstream
because they know we are committed to enhancing our workforce with
continuous training."
The Master Technician Training Program, which FlightSafety
initiated in 1994, is a comprehensive, systematic series of
advanced skills courses. The program is considered the best of its
kind in the industry. According to FlightSafety statistics, 66
percent of the more than 1,240 technicians from around the world
who have earned Master Technician status have earned it for
Gulfstream aircraft.
Earning the designation requires successful completion of five
advanced maintenance courses for a specific aircraft. The complete
program is available for all Gulfstream models. Class work begins
with a four-week Maintenance Initial course and continues with a
one-week Maintenance Update course on that aircraft. The remaining
courses are Engine Run and Taxi, Advanced Troubleshooting and
Operational Maintenance Procedures.
The Operational Maintenance Procedures class includes situations
that challenge a technician to quickly return the aircraft to
service. It is usually combined with the Advanced Troubleshooting
class. A technician must score 90 percent or above on each written
and hands-on exam to advance in the in the program. To be
eligible for Master Technician status, an employee must
successfully complete one class every two years.
