The Australian unit of Shelton-based Sikorsky Aerospace Services has signed a deal with another Aussie firm to provide software and equipment Sikorsky will use to teach aircraft mechanics how to maintain Pratt & Whitney engines.
Sikorsky Helitech, based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, signed the three-year pact with FlightSafety International. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
The program will launch 16 courses per year for maintenance training on four Pratt engine types, Sikorsky said.
FlightSafety will provide Sikorsky Helitech with training courseware, a graphical flight simulator, plus a wide range of training aids. Sikorsky Helitech instructors will be FlightSafety trained and certified.
Sikorsky Aerospace Services is part of Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford.
Sikorsky and Pratt are divisions of United Technologies Corp.
