Who this page is for
- A professional pilot joining an owner, or already flying for one, with initial or recurrent training due.
- An owner adding or changing a pilot on the policy.
- An owner or a flight department with more than one pilot on the same airplane.
Our courses are advanced instruction for pilots who already fly.
What the policy asks of a hired pilot
The policy sets who may fly the aircraft and what experience and training each pilot needs. When a pilot joins or changes, ask the broker what the underwriter requires before that pilot flies the airplane, and ask in writing whether in-aircraft training qualifies. This is the order we suggest.
What the course covers
Initial training typically runs 3 to 5 days with about 10 flight hours, if required. Recurrent training takes 2 or 3 days with about 7. Both cover systems, limitations and emergencies, along with the FARs, real-world operations and servicing, in the panel you fly every week. Both can include an instrument proficiency check and a flight review, when you meet their standards, and end with an aircraft-specific test and a completion certificate. See tuition for your aircraft.
More than one pilot on the same aircraft
Tell us how many pilots fly the airplane and when each one's training is due. Paul replies with instructor availability and how the days can be arranged. Tuition is published per course, so ask how it applies when a second pilot trains on the same visit. Request training or call (855) 747-1200.
What the owner and the broker receive
The aircraft-specific syllabus and the instructor's credentials before the course, and the completion certificate after it. See each document, who sends it and when.
