THOMSON AIRWAYS Ltd -  TECHNICAL TRAINING – PROSPECTUS         

This prospectus is not exhaustive and courses can be designed and added, to suit current requirements. Most of this training is offered at our very modern EASA Part-147 approved training facility in Wigmore House at Luton. We are able to deploy some training and if this is Part-147 approved an additional charge may be generated for second-site approval.

Thomson Airways (Name changed in 2009 from Thomsonfly) was formed after the merger of Thomsonfly (Previously Britannia Airways Ltd) and First Choice Airways (Previously Air 2000). This results in us having access to a large fleet of aircraft of the types listed which supports the provision of EASA Part-147 approved practical training certificates as well as theoretical training certificates. Thomson Airways technical Training staff are CAA approved practical training assessors. The training manager may also fulfil the role of referee on licence and type rating applications for contractors. Contract staff are not usually aligned to a quality (QA) department and often encounter difficulties with licence and/or type rating applications. Thomson Airways Technical Training staff can review applications to ensure that they are correctly completed, that the experience claimed is appropriate to the application and then endorse the referee block prior to dispatch to the regulators. Having a reputable EASA Part-145, Part-147 referee signatory reduces the hassles often encountered with these applications.
