More than 60 Clay Lacy Aviation line service technicians have completed Gulfstream-authorized ground handling and service training for Gulfstream aircraft.
The specialized training developed by Gulfstream Aerospace and FlightSafety International is designed to improve dispatch reliability and increase safety.
Sixty-six technicians across Clay Lacy Aviation’s fixed-base operations (FBOs) in Van Nuys and Orange County have completed the courses, with training for its technicians at its Waterbury-Oxford, Connecticut FBO opening later this year to follow.
Buddy Blackburn, Senior Vice President of FBO Services said: “Comprehensive training demonstrates Clay Lacy Aviation’s commitment to providing a legendary experience and safety-focused culture at our FBOs.
“When our newest FBO opens this year in Connecticut, our technicians will be similarly trained, to ensure that continuity of excellence that is expected will be delivered throughout all of our properties.”
The Gulfstream-FlightSafety program features explanations and demonstrations of best practices for handling and servicing the full range of Gulfstream aircraft.
It includes parking, walkarounds, fueling, towing, snow and ice removal, among others.
The training helps identify and mitigate risks to people and aircraft on the ramp.
