training on Enstrom


helicopters. The Zambian military previously purchased Enstrom Turbine 480Bs with delivery expected in the near future pending aircraft completion. Zambian officials say they plan to use the aircraft


for

took seriously, helicopter their studying pilot


studies every


night,” said Dennis Martin, Enstrom’s vice president of sales and marketing. “We also had the opportunity to share

Midwest American culture with these mechanics. They seemed to love the Upper Peninsula, particularly the bountiful farmland, Halloween decorations, and the famous Menominee lighthouse. All of them said they felt very welcomed and desired to visit the U.S. again on vacation.”


Enstrom regularly offers


maintenance courses throughout the year. The next piston class is set to begin June 3, 2024 at the Enstrom factory in Menominee. The turbine class will begin at the same location a week later. Each course will run for one week, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.


Mechanics who join Enstrom’s training courses will learn


all the subtle nuances of an Enstrom helicopter and quickly familiarize themselves with all the inner workings. Participants can practice what they learn with hands-on display models and special tooling.


“If you want to learn how to best care for your Enstrom, go to where the experts are,” said Martin. “You’ll hear all manner of shortcuts and tips directly from the technicians who work on Enstrom helicopters every day. Chip Zeismer, a 34-year employee of Enstrom, has been teaching the class since 2010, and we’re so grateful for the knowledge he brings.”


All maintenance courses are I.A. renewal accredited. Enstrom offers two options


for certification. The first is for A&P mechanics, and the other is for non-mechanics to certify familiarization with Enstrom. Anyone


who wants to is


welcome to take the class, and


following completion, attendees can return for refresher courses as often as they like.


Classes have a limited number of seats available each session. Accepted applicants will be responsible for


securing all lodging,


transportation, and meals. To fill out an application or to learn more about the program, visit Enstrom’s website.
