Textron Aviation, a leader in aircraft design and manufacturing, has received FAA approval for its new Safety Management System (SMS) plan, which aims to enhance safety and quality in Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft production. The initiative features a voluntary reporting tool that allows employees, customers, and suppliers to anonymously report potential safety risks, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.
RAI Jets Service Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan, has expanded its capabilities to service Cessna Citation 560 (XLS), 650, and 750 aircraft, adding to its existing approvals for limited instruments and radio ratings from the FAA. The center, a sister company of RAI Jets, a reputable aircraft management and jet charter firm, received this certification in March 2024, allowing them to provide comprehensive maintenance services for a wider range of aircraft.
