Honolulu Community College Selects Galvin As Training Provider

Students Will Fly Diamond Planes

Honolulu Community College recently selected Galvin Flying Services, Inc. of Seattle, WA as its flight training provider. The college is part of the University of Hawaii system, and conducts its flight training operations at Kalaeloa airport (KJRF) at the former Barbers Point Naval Air Station on the island of Oahu, HI.  

The HCC/Galvin program began for the Fall Semester in August. Student enrollments are expected from throughout the state, and nationally as well as students and airline trainees from the Asia-Pacific region.

"We are very pleased with the modern approach that Galvin Flying Services, Inc. takes to pilot training and customer service," sadi Chancellor Ramsey R. Pederson. "We expect our flight program to be a leader in collegiate pilot training, and we have confidence that our Galvin relationship will make it so."

HCC representatives say the Galvin/HCC fleet offers the newest and most modern training fleet and simulators in the University Aviation Association (UAA), representing over 100 collegiate programs. The HCC/Galvin program offers an airline-oriented approach to collegiate flight training.

The program features Diamond DA40 Diamond Star and DA42 Twin Star aircraft equipped with Garmin’s G1000 all-glass navigation-avionics suite, including primary flight display (PFD) and multifunction display (MFD) to replace traditional round gauge cockpit instruments. This cockpit instrumentation is similar to large commercial aircraft. 

To meet expected demand, Galvin positioned an initial fleet of Diamond Aircraft Industries products at the training facility, including three Diamond DA40s and one twin-diesel DA42.

"Diamond Aircraft is very committed to the flight training market. We are the only manufacturer of modern, composite aircraft to offer a full line of products for flight schools -- from the DA20 two-seat trainer, to the DA40 4-seat single, DA42 Diesel twin, DA50 high-performance single and the D-JET personal jet," said Heike Larson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Diamond. "We applaud Galvin and Honolulu Community College's approach of conducting training in modern, technologically advanced airplanes. We believe that modern planes, combined with aircraft-like flight training devices from Diamond Simulation, are a great training platform for career pilot candidates and personal flyers alike."

Peter G. Anderson, President of Galvin Flying Services, Inc. added "Our pilot education programs include a key element beyond the very latest in technology. In fact, our training programs may be the only ones in the world today integrating this element. This key element is that our training not only demonstrates HOW to utilize the latest and most advanced cockpit technology; we also provide the logical reasoning and knowledge of WHY each action is taken in the cockpit. This level of reasoning beyond memorizing rote actions is unparalleled in the flight training industry."
