TrustFlight has launched a specialized training division, TrustFlight Training, aimed at helping aviation organizations enhance safety, accelerate compliance, and maximize their efficiency.
The service offers expert-led training in areas of compliance and operational continuity, regardless of internal change or resource constraints. Additionally, the team overviews quality management system (QMS) and safety management system (SMS) principles.
TrustFlight Training further helps clients with the use of the company’s Centrik platform, which includes electronic tech logs, SMS/QMS, reliability analytics, minimum equipment list management, and technical services supporting continuing airworthiness. The platform has more than 200,000 users.
The training involves modular sessions through virtual classrooms, in-person workshops, and “blended” environments. Courses share practical best practices and provide essential tools. Upon completion, participants receive a TrustFlight Certification validating their knowledge and readiness for safety-critical environments, and they are offered extended support from the division.
