Designed To Meet EASA, CAAC, Other Training Regulations
Cessna is teaming with FlightSafety International to offer MX
Advantage, a maintenance training program that will augment
classroom training with hands-on training at a new facility in
Wichita, KS, the company announced at EBACE Monday.
The new MX Advantage program is designed to satisfy most
international training requirements, in particular those of the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation
Administration of China (CAAC).
“We already have a strong relationship with
FlightSafety as a partner both for Citation flight training and
maintenance training, so we are excited now about this new enhanced
maintenance program targeting our major international
markets,” said Jack Pelton, Cessna chairman, president and
CEO. “MX Advantage combines the expertise of both companies
for a high-quality training program – using
FlightSafety’s classroom expertise and Cessna’s factory
maintenance trainers to provide hands-on, type-specific training
for our customers.”
“FlightSafety is proud to expand the service and support
we provide Cessna and our mutual customers,” said Bruce
Whitman, president & CEO FlightSafety International. “We
look forward to welcoming them to our new dedicated Cessna
Maintenance Training Center in Wichita. The MX Advantage program is
a powerful example of our shared commitment to enhance aviation
safety worldwide.”
The MX Advantage provides two weeks in the classroom and two
weeks of supervised, hands-on maintenance training using Cessna
Citations or factory authorized training devices.
