(Wilmington, DE, April 22, 2008) –Dassault Aircraft Services-Wilmington has been awarded the Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Diamond Certificate of Excellence from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Diamond Certificate of Excellence is the highest of five awards an organization can receive for its dedication to maintenance training.

A company’s eligibility for one of the five Certificates of Excellence is based on the percentage of the total number of eligible employees who received AMT awards during the calendar year. To be considered for the AMT Diamond Award, the organization’s entire maintenance team must pass continuous specialized training in numerous aircraft systems and FAA rules and regulations over a one year period.

“A high level of dedicated training leads to not only more reliable aircraft but increased satisfaction for Falcon operators,” said Jacques Blondeau, General Manager, Dassault Aircraft Services-Wilmington. “It was a collective effort from all of our employees to achieve this level of proficiency.”

The AMT program recognizes individual technicians and employers with Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby and Diamond Awards. The program was founded in 1991 by the FAA as an incentive program to encourage participation in initial and recurrent maintenance training courses.
