Hawker Beechcraft (HBC) and FlightSafety International have received approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) to conduct theoretical and practical, hands-on technical training to support the Hawker 4000 and Beechcraft King Air C90.
The authorization from the Chinese government paves the way for HBC
and FlightSafety to provide their MxPro Regulatory maintenance training to Chinese technicians who, upon completion of the course, will be certified to perform maintenance on the two models, both of which are already operating in China.
“This approval by the CAAC is an important step in providing accessible and well established maintenance and service support in China for what promises to be a significant number of Hawker Beechcraft products,” said Christi Tannahill, vice president of global customer support. “Once the trainees have completed their initial training and the MxPro Regulatory program, they receive the equivalent of a maintenance type rating and are permitted to service the aircraft in China.”
