Maintenance Training

Maintenance Training

By leveraging OEM experience, our industry leading subject matter experts deliver an ideal balance of classroom and hands-on training going beyond the basics. It is the difference between “good enough” and “best of the best.” Effective training is the foundation of a reliable maintenance department allowing aircraft to be serviced correctly the first time, faster, and as frequently as required.

STA training prepares technicians by utilizing the publication and aircraft systems to control, troubleshoot, and maintain the aircraft system. Upon course completion the technician will be able to apply concepts learned to effectively maintain either S-70i or UH-60M aircraft.

For any system that differ between aircraft model, training would be carried out as theory only training where applicable.
