Description |
Ground handling and servicing is challenging given the time pressure and ramp congestion in today's Fixed Based Operations (FBO). Approximately 27,000 ramp accidents and incidents occur annually worldwide, resulting in injuries and in considerable costs to the FBO and aircraft owner.
Gulfstream and FlightSafety have co-developed this online course to provide you with what you need to know to safely provide handling and servicing support to Gulfstream G350, G450, G500 and G550 aircraft operators.
There are non-scored knowledge checks throughout the course so that you may test your understanding. Once you've successfully completed the course, you are issued a certificate of completion.
"Through our TTT partnership with FlightSafety, we developed a new eLearning Gulfstream Ground Handling & Servicing course to enhance safety and dispatch reliability for our operators. The class is designed to reinforce how Ground Handlers should move and service Gulfstream aircraft, and to help mitigate risks by using Gulfstream-approved best practices. This is just one of many steps we've taken in terms of enhancing our aircraft's dispatch availability."
Mark Burns, President Gulfstream Product Support, President General Dynamics Aviation Services
