During the Helitech exhibition, Turbomeca (Safran group) and Bristow Academy signed a partnership contract to facilitate the training of Turbomeca operators on maintenance operations. Going forward Bristow will be able to train pilots and technicians as part of the Turbomeca Training Network. The partnership will draw from Turbomeca training programs to give pilots and technicians a more in-depth view of modern engine design and engine operating characteristics.
The training methodology is based on active learning and practical training. Maintenance staff gains operational know-how essential to ensuring better performance practices. Better trained maintenance staff will help reduce unscheduled operating and maintenance procedures, reduce costs and increase safety performance both on the ground and in the air.
