FlightSafety International selected Aeroglobo to provide Pratt & Whitney Canada engine training for maintenance technicians in Brazil. Training will be conducted at Aeroglobo’s facility in Botucatu for the PT6T/A/B turboprop engines and the PW100-, PW200- and PW500-series turbofans. Its facilities are located in the main agricultural production areas of Brazil and are certified by ANAC, Brazil’s civil aviation agency.

“Aeroglobo’s experience with P&WC engines and reputation for excellence in Brazil will ensure that maintenance technicians receive the highest quality training,” said FlightSafety executive vice president David Davenport. “The ongoing expansion of P&WC engine training locations demonstrates FlightSafety’s commitment to provide convenient access to courses that meet the specific needs of our customers.”

The Aeroglobo facility will be equipped with P&WC training engines and FlightSafety’s Graphical FlightDeck and desktop simulators. Instructors will provide in-depth classroom and hands-on instruction using these training devices and FlightSafety’s comprehensive curriculum and courseware.

Aeroglobo, which is celebrating its 10th year in Brazil, supports operators and pilots of agricultural aircraft at its training facilities, service centers and avionics and engine parts inspection centers. Aeroglobo is the exclusive Lane Aviation Air Tractor dealer for South America and says its training center in Botucatu is equipped with the only simulator in the world approved and qualified by Air Tractor and the U.S. FAA for the AT-402B, AT-502B and AT-802 agplanes.
