Program Designed By Hawker Beechcraft And FlightSafety
The EASA has approved a training course for theoretical and
practical, hands-on technical training to support the Hawker 125
series business jets designed by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
(HBC) and FlightSafety International. The authorization, announced
during the NBAA convention and meeting in Atlanta, allows HBC and
FlightSafety to provide their MxPro Regulatory maintenance training
to technicians. On completion of the course, those technicians will
be certified to perform maintenance on the Hawker 750, 800, 850 and
900 models.
"This EASA approval supports a growing European fleet of Hawker
aircraft," said Christi Tannahill, HBC vice president, Global
Customer Support. "With more than 150 Hawker 125 series business
jets currently based in Europe, the MxPro training program approval
will allow technicians to earn the equivalent of a maintenance type
rating, permitting them to service the aircraft."
MxPro is an innovative program that leverages HBC's knowledge of
aircraft design, manufacturing and support with FlightSafety's
training expertise. It is offered at FlightSafety's new Maintenance
Learning Center in Wichita, KS.

The program utilizes a variety of
methods and training devices, including interactive computer 3D
modeling and actual aircraft to provide hands-on training,
replicate real-life experiences, offer in-depth operational and
maintenance tasks, and supplement extensive classroom instruction.
The MxPro course provides participates with one week of hands-on
instruction to supplement the two to three weeks of theoretical
training. MxPro Regulatory training supplements the MxPro course
with an additional week of hands-on training and is designed to
provide foreign certifications for various regulatory agencies
around the world. Completion of the initial training course is
required for enrollment in the MxPro Regulatory training.
