FlightSafety International has developed a new aviation maintenance management program tailored for current and future maintenance department managers. The program is designed to enhance skills, as well as address challenges and trends that are identified by maintenance department leaders, instructors and other experts, FlightSafety said. 

Offered at FlightSafety’s Training Center in Dallas, the three-day program includes modules on leadership qualities, foundations of management, service culture, communications, accountability and delegation, finance and team building, among others.

The program was developed and is offered in conjuction with ServiceElements, according to FlightSafety, and expands upon FlightSafety’s suite of professional development programs aimed at maintenance professionals and technicians. FlightSafety also offers professional development courses through its Master Technician program that are designed to provide aircraft maintenance personnel with the skills needed to interact effectively with customers, managers and coworkers. The Master Technician program further helps prepare technicians for additional responsibilities or management roles. More than 3,000 people have become FlightSafety Master Technicians.
