New maintenance training for aircraft technicians
Helicopter services provider NHV Group has established a new maintenance training organization that will provide training and certification for aircraft technicians
Belgian NHV will offer aircraft type-related training, initially focusing on the Airbus H145 D2/D3, Airbus H175, Airbus AS365N3 and Leonardo AW139. Thanks to a collaborative partnership with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certified training company AMC66 and aviation school Petrus & Paulus West, basic B1 and B2 trainings are also accessible for aircraft technicians without previous rotary experience.
Combining their forces within one maintenance training organization, the partners can deliver the full training package: theoretical and practical elements of technical training courses, conducting examination, as well as issuing completion certificates to qualifying trainees.
Investing in the future has never been so important
“Despite the challenging times in a Covid-19 environment, investing in the future has never been so important. Our newly acquired Part-147 technical training capability provides the needed flexibility in upskilling of our own staff, but we also look forward to training technicians from other operators and newly graduated students,” said NHV’s Chief Operational Officer Thomas Hütsch.
“We are excited to offer the next generation of aircraft technicians an entry point into our challenging and rewarding industry,” added Training Manager Frédéric Matton. “We know the aviation and aircraft business’s needs like no other. We aim to develop our students’ key aviation engineering skills, but we also want to inspire them with our passion for aviation, ensuring an even greater return on investment.”
