In a key milestone for the professionalization of the aeronautical sector in Chile and the region, Ecocopter+Helisul has obtained certification as a Civil Aeronautical Training Center (CEAC) from the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC). This recognition consolidates the company’s position as a benchmark in technical training and operational safety in Latin America.

CEAC certification accredits compliance with the highest standards in aircraft maintenance training, allowing Ecocopter+Helisul to train and improve specialized technicians under a world-class training structure.

“Obtaining this certification represents a fundamental step for our company, as it allows us to continue strengthening the safety and efficiency of our aircraft maintenance. It also opens up new development opportunities for our technical teams and the industry as a whole.” says Hernán Leiva , Ecocopter+Helisul maintenance manager.

It should be noted that the Aeronautical mechanics are one of the fundamental pillars of an aircraft’s operational safety. They are responsible for preparing, inspecting, configuring, receiving , and verifying that all systems and components arrive safely. Each of these tasks requires a high level of responsibility and technical knowledge. The safety of each flight depends critically on their technical quality and professional training.

“We are proud to be an active part of this training process and to contribute directly to the operational safety of our country and all operations involving rotary-wing aircraft.” Leiva emphasizes.

Advantages of CEAC certification

• International Standards: Ensures that training and maintenance processes comply with globally recognized regulations.
• Specialized training: This allows for the development of highly qualified technicians with the skills necessary to operate and maintain aircraft with maximum efficiency.
• Certified infrastructure: CEACs must meet specific requirements regarding equipment, simulators, classrooms, updated manuals, and highly qualified teaching staff.
• Continuous monitoring: The DGAC conducts periodic inspections to ensure compliance with technical and operational standards.

“This achievement positions us as a key player in aeronautical technical training in Chile and Latin America. Our commitment is to continue advancing innovation and quality, ensuring that our maintenance standards meet the needs of the market and our customers,” Leiva added.

With this new milestone, Ecocopter+Helisul reaffirms its leadership in the field of aeronautical maintenance and training, strengthening its contribution to a safer, more professional industry that is more prepared for the challenges of the future.
