FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL PROMOTES BRIAN GOODSITE TO MANAGER OF THE CESSNA MAINTENANCE LEARNING CENTER
FlightSafety International announces that Brian Goodsite has been promoted to manager of the company’s Cessna Aircraft Maintenance Learning Center in Wichita, Kansas. He succeeds John Brasfield who is now leading FlightSafety’s efforts to restore the training programs affected by the recent accident at the company’s Learning Center in Wichita, Kansas.
“Brian’s in-depth knowledge of aircraft maintenance training, and experience working with aviation regulatory agencies around the world, made him the ideal choice to manage our Cessna Maintenance Learning Center,” says Daniel MacLellan, vice president Operations. “We look forward to Brian’s contributions in this new role, and to serving the growing number of technicians who train at the Center.”
“We thank John for taking on the important task of planning and managing the repair, relocation, and re-activation of the flight simulators, classrooms and other equipment affected by the tragedy in Wichita,” adds Daniel MacLellan. “His efforts will ensure our Customers continue to receive the highest quality training with minimal disruption.”
Brian joined FlightSafety in 2005 as an Instructor and was subsequently promoted to supervisor of Maintenance Training. His responsibilities included the development and regulatory qualification of training programs, training and scheduling of Instructors, and participation in the implementation and auditing of the company’s Quality Management System. Brian most recently served as a regional director of Regulatory Affairs for Maintenance Training. He managed the regulatory approval process of FlightSafety’s maintenance training programs, participated in the deployment of new courses and initiatives, and performed audits to ensure quality and compliance.
He served in the United States Marine Corps for eight years as a Helicopter Technician and Master Training Specialist. Brian holds an Associates degree in Arts from Campbell University and a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Columbia College.
