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.
