Training Center Facility Information

Facility Information

Airbus Helicopters, Inc. is located on the west side of the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport in the heart of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Our facility requires employees and visitors to wear identification badges at all times. All visitors will be issued a temporary identification badge upon entrance to the facility. Customers visiting after regular business hours will be briefed on facility access requirements, prior to arrival.

For your convenience, the Training Center has a break room with complimentary coffee and vending machines with snacks and refreshments. There is no cafeteria on site, but there are many restaurants and fast food stores available within a short driving distance. Lunch breaks are typically scheduled from 11:30 to 13:00 unless otherwise indicated by the instructor. Please refer to your Confirmation of Enrollment for class start and end times. Our staff is available to assist with catering requests or other logistical arrangements.

Students attending the Maintenance Training courses should wear appropriate attire for hands-on workshop training. Dress code is business casual attire. For safety reasons, we ask that customers wear closed-toed shoes, as they will tour the facility and different workshops during the course program. For flight training it is recommended that customers bring a headset/ helmet, and if they prefer a flight suit, knee board, and gloves.
