FlightSafety International is an aviation training provider with global reach. They offer comprehensive programs for pilots, maintenance technicians, cabin crew, and dispatchers. Their state-of-the-art training centers and experienced instructors ensure top-notch training, adhering to strict standards, and promoting safety and proficiency in the industry.

It’s easy to see the safety and operational benefits of having a well-trained pilot in the cockpit who is prepared for anything. But aircraft owners and operators know that everything running smoothly is equally dependent on the skills a highly trained maintenance technician brings to the table.
Well-trained technicians like you provide an immense value to the aircraft and flight operations as a whole. As a skilled expert, you know how to make sure maintenance and repairs are done correctly and on schedule – reducing downtimes and getting aircraft back into service faster.
For decades FlightSafety International has been the go-to name in aviation training, preparing technicians to keep aircraft airworthy and enhancing safety. The result of expert instruction shows up every day in the work you do, a vital component of the aviation industry.<img alt data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e0ad5866-8e4d-4335-bb41-411f8fca2128" src="/sites/default/files/fsi_web_3h3a4491.jpg" width="2400" height="1200" loading="lazy">
<h2>Maintenance Training Built on Relationships</h2>
FlightSafety continually advances its training through innovation and expert instruction. You benefit from its relationships with major manufacturers, companies and OEMs built over decades.
You can see it with aircraft OEMs – where FlightSafety is working hand in hand with the manufacturers to craft curriculum and practical training. These advanced, hands-on aircraft maintenance training programs leverage the OEMs’ knowledge of aircraft design, manufacture and support with FlightSafety’s world-class training expertise.
This collaboration means you’re learning a standardized maintenance practice, exactly as if you were learning from the OEM itself. That means greater aircraft reliability and parts mastery.
Technicians who train with FlightSafety are immersed in a learning environment specifically designed to replicate real-life service issues and events. Instruction is reinforced by walking through actual problems being experienced by operators.<img alt data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="25a2a107-c953-4b15-9bb2-6e8a87836491" src="/sites/default/files/fsi_web_k56a2591.jpg" width="2400" height="1200" loading="lazy">
<h2>OEM Knowledge, FlightSafety Instruction</h2>
Along with aircraft manufacturers, FlightSafety works closely with Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada and Honeywell Aerospace to develop the most effective possible training, based on real-world experience and mechanical expertise.
Learn about the full range of P&amp;WC engines, including turboprop, turbofan and turboshaft –&nbsp;and P&amp;WC APU/APS. By working closely with Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada, FlightSafety offers better ways to reinforce classroom knowledge and expand troubleshooting capabilities. It’s not just a textbook approach, either. You get your hands on full-scale systems trainers, maintenance task simulators, test equipment, major component cutaways and working models to master skills.
If you’re learning about Honeywell Aerospace products, you’ll master up-to-date techniques and procedures to work on Honeywell engines, APUs, avionics, environmental controls and satcom systems. Courseware designers and subject matter experts work closely with Honeywell to develop new courseware.
<h2>Best Way to Hone Skills</h2>
FlightSafety instructors have always incorporated a mix of classroom and hands-on instruction, to give you a complete range of information necessary to develop, expand or refine proficiency. Interactive applied training reinforces the lessons learned and gives you the best way to hone your skills.
By working directly with the manufacturers, FlightSafety is able to provide courses and practical models that exactly show what is needed for skill mastery. As any component changes on an aircraft or in the field, so do the courses and instructions. You know you’re working with up-to-date equipment just like you’ll find in your local hangar. If your flight department has a specific need, FlightSafety tailors courseware and curriculum to meet those requirements.<img alt data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9afa788b-3a64-47eb-841e-3aa4e0feaae4" src="/sites/default/files/fsi_web_3h3a4627.jpg" width="2400" height="1200" loading="lazy">
<h2>Train With Innovative Technology</h2>
In today’s busy work environment, it’s not always easy to travel for instruction. FlightSafety has been a leader in online training with robust libraries of instructor-led LiveLearning and self-paced eLearning courses, giving you access to superior instruction from your computer.
The list of available maintenance courses have expanded, including: general maintenance, cold weather operations, dangerous goods handling, engine condition trend monitoring, engine run and taxi, human factors, safety management systems, and engine-specific repair and maintenance. LiveLearning courses cover thorough instruction on maintaining 11 aircraft and engine types, where you can work directly with instructors from their locations.
FlightSafety also has the Virtual Aircraft, an immersive 3D learning experience aimed to assist students and instructors in exploring the aircraft within the classroom as if they were out on the flight line. With Virtual Aircraft, you are situated within a real-life contextual environment with the aircraft appropriately scaled in both size and depth. Interactions with the aircraft’s various components are true to life and happening in real time. This immersive media leads to greater levels of knowledge retention and an increase in transferable skill, building confidence and competency in operation.
FlightSafety’s Virtual Engine Trainers provide real-time, interactive and animated models of Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada engines. Virtual Engine Trainers allow instructors and students to view the engine and the many individual components in any position or system grouping and even conduct practical maintenance procedures such as part replacement. X-ray and move functionality further enables you to view dynamic cross-sections into nearly every engine part. Borescope inspection training is also available with typical wear and tear simulated throughout the engine, allowing you to practice damage assessment and engine dispatchability. EASA has approved Virtual Engine Training as a method of assessment in up to 50 percent of practical engine training.
<h2>Making a Mark in Personal Development</h2>
Are you looking for a career development path? FlightSafety Master Technician Training Program offers a five-step, type-specific way to achieve it. This comprehensive training program complements the experience gained from day-to-day operations while increasing knowledge and refining skills. After successfully completing the courses, schedules and examinations, you will join the elite group of Master Technicians, which publicly acknowledges superior performance and technical proficiency.
This innovative and unique program is designed to empower you to further enhance your contributions to the safety, reliability and operating efficiency of the aircraft or components you support and maintain. It focuses on six major areas of instruction: airframe, avionics, cabin systems, composites, engine-specific and management.
The Master Technician training program allows you to develop more advanced skills at every level, producing higher standards for the technician and flight operations, improving safety, lowering operational costs and increasing aircraft dispatch reliability.
Industry demand is high for the more than 5,000 Master Technicians who have been trained worldwide. Peers and employers recognize the asset you are to flight departments – and the value you provide.
The industry knows the value of FlightSafety-trained professionals. Take advantage of good instruction to be prepared to meet any challenge.
