Owner/Pilot Training and Mentoring

As an owner/pilot, you have been to FlightSafety or CAE Simuflight and received the type rating and met your insurance company requirements; nonetheless, you just do not feel comfortable in the aircraft yet.  FlightSafety or CAE Simuflight training is primarily focused on elements required for the check ride, not normal operations or specific model piloting techniques.  We can help you get the most from your investment with practical operational experience customized to you and your aircraft.

Areas of concentration include:

  • Preflight Planning
  • Cabin Equipment
  • Navigation Databases Updates
  • Flight Planning with the FMS
  • Optimum Cruise profiles
  • Do’s and Don’ts based on operating history

Consider acquiring initial operating training with us.  With experience in all FMS systems in new and legacy aircraft, we have a wealth of information to share with you.  We can tailor arrangements specifically to your needs: from riding along with you and your pilots to answer operational questions to doing training that your initial simulator training did not cover.  We can seamlessly incorporate this mentoring on your trip home or in everyday operations.

Our training will satisfy SOE (supervised operational experience) requirements set by the FAA and insurance requirements.  We also have Pilot Proficiency Examiner authority to conduct CE 680 “Sovereign” 61.58 Pilot in Command Proficiency Checks (aka “recurrent”) in your airplane. The check takes approximately one hour on the ground and two hours in the aircraft.  All items in the Practical Test Standard will be covered to the proficiency expected for the ATP type rating.
