Q
|
How many pilots can attend training?
|
|
A
|
Each of our course formats is designed for either one or two pilots
at a time. However, we can train additional pilots or crews during the same
event with an additional amount of time added to the scheduled event.
|
|
Q
|
If we have to fly our aircraft to
accomplish the flight training, won't this end up costing more than if we
trained in a flight simulator?
|
|
A
|
No. Including all of the direct costs to the aircraft, and the cost
of training utilizing Aviation 2000 Inc. the final cost is still
substantially less than the other training method. We can supply a cost vs.
cost profile so that you can see the difference for yourself.
And
remember, that along with the cost savings is the savings in time, which is
in it self a very valuable commodity to you and your department. Aviation
2000 Inc. saves you both time and money, while providing the highest
quality of service.

|
Q
|
Is your training approved by Insurance
Companies?
|
|
A
|
Since we operate under the pilot training and certification
guidelines of FAR part 61, there is no specific approval required. All of
the major insurance companies that we have worked with accept our programs.
|
|
Q
|
Do we have to shut down our daily flight
schedule during the time that training is being accomplished?
|
|
A
|
No. We have designed our course outlines so that we can, if
necessary, accomplish all of the training and checks while working within
your own flight schedule. If required by your flight schedule, we will
even train during off hours, between your flight schedule, or even at a
remote facility.
|
|
Q
|
For the Type Rating check, or the 61.58
PIC check, what maneuvers are required?
|
|
A
|
The specific areas of operation, tasks, and objectives, can be
reviewed by the pilot by referring to the guidelines established by the FAA
in their publication AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT and TYPE RATING PRACTICAL TEST
STANDARDS FAA-8081-5C. A copy of this can be obtained at your local FBO,
Flight School, or through a catalog such as Sporty's.
|
|
Q
|
Can we accomplish just the annual 61.58
PIC checks without incorporating training at the same time?
|
|
A
|
Yes. If your schedule does not allow for training at the time of the
required PIC checks, our PPE can administer just the 61.58 check,
accomplished for a crew in a single day.
|
|
Q
|
How do you train and practice those
specific maneuvers or procedures that cannot be done in flight, or would be
considered unsafe?
|
|
A
|
Those specific procedures or maneuvers, or demonstrations of system
malfunctions, are accomplished on the ground. The aircraft can be supplied
power through the GPU, and then used as a FTD (flight training device).
This method provides for excellent training and the desired training
results, while maintaining safety.
|
|
Q
|
Which is better, flight training or
simulator training?
|
|
A
|
One complements the other. For a professional pilot with previous
professional training which has included simulator based training, flight
training is essential. There is no better way to improve a pilot's skills
and experience, and understanding the aircraft capability, than actual
flight training in the aircraft.
|
|
Q
|
How is it possible that your pilot
initial course takes only a week, where the course at the simulator based
training company takes over two weeks?
|
|
A
|
There is nothing better than hands on training, and when your crews
train at and in the real aircraft, the transfer of knowledge is much
better, faster, and more complete. In fact, the first day of training is
right there at the aircraft, completing a preflight, getting an overview of
the systems, learning how to service the aircraft, and working through all
of the checklist, including start and taxi. "Nothing beats the
real thing".
|
|
Q
|
After you have completed the training of
a pilot or crew, can you stay on and ride with them for the first couple of
passenger flights to give them a little operational experience and
training?
|
|
A
|
Of course. This "Initial Operating Experience" ( I.O.E. )
program, which we call our " ride along service," has been very
successful with many new operators. The crew simply flies the trip, with
Aviation 2000 either in the jump seat, or acting as a crewmember. Call us
for more details about this service.
