AviatorPro and Liberty University are partnering to develop a new FAA Part 147 aviation maintenance training platform “designed to modernize how future aircraft maintenance technicians are educated and prepared for the workforce,” according to company officials.
As the launch customer, Liberty University will play an active role in helping AviatorPro develop and refine course content, ensuring the platform meets the needs of today’s aviation maintenance students, instructors, and employers.
“The collaboration represents a significant step forward in bringing modern learning technology, data analytics, and digital courseware to a segment of aviation training that has historically lagged behind other areas of the industry,” AviatorPro officials added.
The FAA Part 147 platform will provide students with interactive content while giving instructors greater visibility into student progress and performance. The goal is to improve learning outcomes, enhance student retention, and better prepare graduates for successful careers as aviation maintenance technicians, company officials explained.
“Aircraft maintenance professionals are the backbone of aviation safety, yet many training programs still rely on educational methods that have changed very little over the past several decades,” said Luke Ormsby, President of AviatorPro. “Working alongside Liberty University allows us to build a modern solution that reflects how today’s students learn while helping schools deliver a higher-quality educational experience.”
The partnership comes at a critical time for the aviation industry. Airlines, maintenance, repair, and overhaul organizations (MROs), manufacturers, and operators across the country continue to face a growing shortage of qualified aviation maintenance technicians. Industry forecasts indicate that tens of thousands of new mechanics will be needed in the coming years to support fleet growth, aircraft modernization, and retirements within the existing workforce.
Liberty University has the capacity to train 162 aviation maintenance students each year in its 12-month program.

This is a great initiative. The aviation industry’s technician shortage is a real challenge, and modernizing FAA Part 147 training with interactive learning and data-driven insights can help prepare students more effectively for the workforce. It’s encouraging to see education providers and technology companies collaborating to close critical skills gaps. As graduates begin their careers, platforms like Hizorex can also support their next step by helping them discover relevant opportunities, optimize their resumes with AI, and prepare for interviews. Wishing both AviatorPro and Liberty University success with this partnership.
