Thrush Announces Factory Certified Maintenance Training Course Offered In-Person and Virtually

April 16, 2026

Thrush Aircraft has announced its upcoming Factory Certified Maintenance Training Course, scheduled for June 1–5, 2026, to help operators, pilots, and aviation maintenance technicians keep Thrush aircraft operating at peak performance.

Designed specifically for agricultural aviation professionals, the course provides hands-on instruction in scheduled maintenance, repairs, inspections, and preventive maintenance practices that help reduce downtime and extend aircraft service life during demanding spray seasons.

Led by experienced factory personnel with decades of field experience, the training combines manufacturer-recommended procedures with practical troubleshooting techniques across major aircraft systems, including flight control rigging, engine operations, and electrical systems.

The June course will be offered both in person at the Thrush Aircraft factory in Albany, Georgia, and virtually, providing flexible participation options for operators worldwide. The course will be conducted in English, with a Spanish-language session scheduled for June 8, 2026.

The program accommodates a wide range of experience levels, offering foundational training for newer technicians while allowing seasoned professionals to refine skills and stay current with evolving standards. Upon completion, participants return better prepared to maintain aircraft safely, efficiently, and in accordance with factory specifications.
