Today we are starting week two of our first missionary maintenance specialists training class. Three mechanics from New Tribes Missionary Aviation have been with us since November 9th. So far we have completed the G1000 overview and G1000 maintenance functions as well as the first half of the PT6A turbine engine line maintenance and hot section inspection.
This morning we opened up our own Kodiak for a simulated inspection and started Kodiak airframe systems training in the classroom. We are well into the season here in Spokane where we have fewer opportunities to fly the airplane due to the weather. That makes it a great time of the year to do maintenance training.
Today we also have another training class going on in our facility. Our friends from Moody Aviation are utilizing one of our classrooms to attend survival training. They will get to finish up their week out in the woods putting the classroom training to practical use. Another organization is providing that survival training to the Moody folks. Although not a part of Moody, we at STC have similar objectives and cooperate with them whenever we can.
It’s thrilling for us to see how the Lord is using our facility. Milestones like the start of our maintenance training, the first use of our PT6 classroom and hosting a visiting organization like Moody Aviation continue to demonstrate the ways that this facility can be used to further the work of mission aviation.
Serving together.
