Many within the New Zealand aviation industry are not aware that we hold a number of training courses throughout the year and this is something we want to change.

Each year we take both engineers and pilots through a wide variety of courses held across New Zealand covering a range of topics including aircraft types, engines, airframes, human factors and so on. Earlier this month our Airborne Systems Manager, Russell Goulden, held a BK117C1 Pilots Ground Familiarizatiion Course, and more recently a Bell 222 Series course with a Turbomeca Arriel I & II Engine course planned for the end of next month.

Russell is a highly experienced engineer with a history in Part 141 training spanning over 30 years and has trained over 700 Engineers to NZCAA and Foreign Rating standard. He currently holds a NZCAA Engineers Examiner Delegation.

Our courses are recognised by the following civil aviation authorities:

USA, Pakistan, Ukraine, China, Australia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Fiji, Thailand, Nepal, India, Philippines, South Korea and Papua Niugini.
