Azerbaijan plans to increase the number of Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft used for pilot training flights.
Axar.az reports, citing Trеnd, that Valad Valadov, Technical Director for Western Aircraft at ASG Helicopter Services LLC, made the announcement while speaking to journalists. He said the company currently provides maintenance services for five aircraft of this type.
“Plans are in place to acquire five more aircraft in the future, bringing the total number to 10. These aircraft are manufactured in the United States and equipped with German-made engines. One of the engines’ distinctive features is that they can run on both diesel and aviation fuel. The aircraft are primarily intended for pilot training flights at the Aviation Training Centre,” Valadov said.
He added that ASG Helicopter Services LLC provides both base and line maintenance for the aircraft. The company’s work includes inspections under aircraft maintenance programmes, engine removal and installation, replacement of aircraft components, and wing removal and installation.
