Clears A Path For Development Of Practical Training For King
Air C90, Hawker 4000
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) and FlightSafety
International have received approval to conduct theoretical
and practical, hands-on technical training to support the Hawker
4000 and Beechcraft King Air C90 by the Civil Aviation Authority of
China (CAAC). The authorization from the Chinese government paves
the way for HBC and FlightSafety to provide their MxPro Regulatory
maintenance training to Chinese technicians who, upon completion of
the course, will be certified to perform maintenance on the two
models, both of which are already operating in China.
"This approval by the CAAC is an important step in providing
accessible and well-established maintenance and service support in
China for what promises to be a significant number of Hawker
Beechcraft products," said Christi Tannahill, vice president,
Global Customer Support. "Once the trainees have completed their
initial training and the MxPro Regulatory program, they receive the
equivalent of a maintenance type rating and are permitted to
service the aircraft in China."
The MxPro program leverages Hawker Beechcraft's knowledge of
aircraft design, manufacturing and support with FlightSafety's
training expertise. It is currently offered at the newly completed
FlightSafety 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 incorporates one
week of hands-on instruction to supplement the two to three weeks
of theoretical training. MxPro Regulatory supplements the MxPro
course with an additional week of hands-on training and is designed
to provide foreign certifications for the various regulatory
agencies around the world. Completion of the initial training
course is required for enrollment in the MxPro Regulatory
training.
