Classrooms, Flight Sims, And Direct Runway Access
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) and FlightSafety
International hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony at
the recently completed FlightSafety International Hawker Beechcraft
Maintenance Learning Center Wednesday. Located east of the approach
end of HBC's Runway 18, the new 44,000 square foot Maintenance
Learning Center features 10 advanced technology classrooms,
Graphical Flight-Deck simulators, composites and cabin systems
labs, and direct runway access to a 10,000 square foot
hangar.
"This world-class training facility represents the value of our
partnership with FlightSafety and the commitment of our two
companies to provide a new industry standard in maintenance
training," said Bill Boisture, HBC Chairman and CEO. "Not only is
it equipped to provide technicians with cutting-edge training and
instruction, its proximity to the factory and access to aircraft
experts also enhances the practicality and value of the course
work."
The Maintenance Learning Center began hosting classes in
November. Several technicians have already completed its MxPro
program - a jointly-developed, innovative maintenance training
program that leverages HBC's knowledge of aircraft design,
manufacturing and support with FlightSafety's expertise and
experience as the world's leading aviation training provider.
The two companies also held an open house at the newly expanded
FlightSafety International Hawker Beechcraft Pilot Learning Center
at 9720 E. Central Ave. Since 1986, FlightSafety has been the
exclusive entitlement training provider for customers of new HBC
aircraft. The pilot center, which trains more than 4,800 pilots
annually, includes 19 full flight simulators, two flight training
devices, 15 graphical flight simulators and 36
classrooms.
