Heston MRO MTOE (Heston), the independent MRO organization headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, has added Part 147 Technical Training capability to its range of services.
On April 7, the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approved Heston and issued a Part 147 Approval Certificate, allowing itto deliver technical training courses, conduct examination, as well as issue completion certificates to qualifying trainees.
The launching of Part 147 capability covers Airbus 318/319/320/321 ceo and neo generations with all types of engines, with the inclusion of both theory and practical training courses. The rapid course expansion is planned to include courses for the Airbus A318/319/320/321 , Boeing 787- 8/9/10, and others.
The newly acquired Part 147 approval allows Heston to conduct training courses via Virtual Synchronous Delivery (VSD). This means trainees can be located in any one of Heston's training facilities in either Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Perth whilst the instructor can be located at a different training facility, delivering training via a video conference platform.
