Novosibirsk Aircraft Repair Plant started online training
Novosibirsk / 11 June 2020
The Novosibirsk Aircraft Repair Plant (NARP) belonging to Russian Helicopters (part of Rostec) was the first in the Russian Federation to launch online training for aircraft technicians specializing in maintenance and repairs of various Mi-8 and Mi-26 helicopter versions. The Appendix to the Aviation Training Center Certificate for intra/extramural education was issued by the Federal Agency for Air Transport (Rosaviatsiya).
This project is part of a large-scale program for Learn Management Systems (LMS) development being implemented by the Helicopter Service Company (HSC). In the near future, other Russian Helicopters enterprises with training centers will join the LMS system.
The LMS program is deployed on the HSC web site as a unified platform with its own interface that will be used by the holding’s aviation training centers and where training program and course lists, as well as document catalogs are provided. The project is also being implemented in English, which enables us to arrange for online training of foreign customers. The first group of foreign customers went through a training that was provided by the NARP Training Center using the LMS in April 2020.
Besides that, HSC established unified rules for training course development in the S1000D format that will be used by all Russian Helicopters aviation training centers.
After the LMS system launch, HSC together with aviation training centers became the first companies in Russia to provide such online training services for Russian-made helicopters.
The NARP Aviation Training Center was established at the plant on 1 July 2009. The Сenter has a certificate and a license for recurrent and additional training of personnel engaged in repairs and maintenance of MI helicopters. The Aviation Training Center also prepares qualified personnel for the Repair Plant by providing the necessary training.
