Nearly 500 Technicians Also Honored With Individual Awards
Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) has announced that its
factory-owned service centers received the FAA's coveted Diamond
Award. HBS maintenance centers in Little Rock, Tampa, Atlanta,
Indianapolis, Wichita, Houston, and San Antonio, met the
requirements for the FAA's highest distinction for excellence in
aircraft maintenance training. Year after year, HBS consistently
earns various FAA maintenance achievements.
"HBS service centers and technicians have participated in and
earned honors from the FAA's Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards
Program for many years," said William (Bill) Brown, president,
Hawker Beechcraft Global Customer Service and Support. "We have the
most skilled, highly trained and dedicated work force in the
industry. We're pleased that our technicians' hard work and
commitment to recurrent training is honored each year."
To achieve a Diamond Award, a facility must have 100 percent of its
employees participating in the FAA's Maintenance Technician
Program. Individuals can receive a Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby or
individual Diamond Award. The awards are based on the number of
hours of FAA-approved aviation maintenance training received
throughout the year. In order to qualify for a Diamond Award, for
example, an individual must have 100 combined hours of college
related classes and FAA approved training during the calendar
year.
