Our background
Airbus Defence Training and Services ensures, since 2006, its own fleet management (line and base maintenance, CAMO, supply chain…) of Grob 120 training aircraft. These aircraft are operated by the Pilot Training School of the French Air force at Cognac airbase.
Since 2012, Airbus Defence Training and Services also ensures these services for the Embraer Xingu fleet for the benefit of the Military Transport Pilot Training School at Avord airbase and for the French Navy at Lann Bihoué Naval airbase.
Base maintenance, organized according to the company approvals, and airworthiness management services proposed to Cirrus owners who are expecting a unique interface for the management of their aeronautical assets.
These activities can be proposed on request and on-site, for example radio instruments ground test including, if required, flight test for validation. Its “Operations Department” achieves acceptance flights but also ferry flights or any other foreground aeronautical expertise that can be managed by Airbus Defence Training and Services.
Every aircraft under the Airbus Defence Training and Services responsibility is maintained in the best conditions by technical experts in a secured, controlled and modern environment.
