Purdue University Selects API For Flight Training Support

State-Of-The-Art University Flight Training Meets High Tech Logistics Management

Purdue University has selected Aerospace Products International (API), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Aviation Services, as their logistics management supplier to support its new fleet of Cirrus SR20 training aircraft. The airplanes are used in the professional flight program, housed in the College of Technology’s Department of Aviation Technology.

“The goal of every aviation education program is to maximize aircraft availability while controlling operational costs and minimizing capital investment while managing a fast paced flight training program. API’s extensive expertise and infrastructure enable them to customize a flight training logistics support program that will make it possible for Purdue to meet that goal,” says Purdue’s Mike Suckow, associate professor of aviation technology and assistant department head for air operations.

“Purdue’s reputation of providing quality educational opportunities to pilots around the globe is a testament to their dedication and importance in the aerospace industry,” says Dr. Ahmed M. Metwalli, API’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are pleased to have been selected by Purdue to manage their inventory planning and control processes and look forward to a long lasting relationship between API and Purdue University.”

API’s customized flight school program focuses on providing inventory management and logistical support for Purdue that will assist in minimizing operating costs, reducing turn-around times and increasing aircraft availability. Purdue will utilize API’s web-based Electronic Supply Program (“ESP2”) to manage inventory requirements for aircraft parts, bench stock, rotables and consumable items to support their high tempo flight training programs.

As the exclusive supplier for all Cirrus aircraft parts and related requirements for Purdue University, API will also oversee the performance and management of parts, repair and overhaul services. API will be responsible for identifying approved sources and manage the entire maintenance, repair and overhaul lifecycle.
