TECHNICAL TRAINING

Fully Embedded Capability Support

​Our systems are intrinsically simple and very low maintenance. While some units ask Blakcro to provide all maintenance and support, many wish to become fully self-supporting. ​ ​ To facility this we provide a comprehensive range of technical training options for the maintenance of airframes, engines, wings and reserves.​ ​ A structured technical training regime is also often part of any ‘safe to operate’ assurance safety case.
