New Jacksonville Facility May Train Pilots For Chinese
Airlines
Commercial Airline Pilot Training
(CAPT) Program announced Thursday it has received official
notification from the General Administration of Civil Aviation of
China granting approval for CAPT's Cecil campus to train students
to fly for airlines in China.
After an inspection at the CAPT facility in Jacksonville, FL,
the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) deemed the facilities,
program, curriculum and safety records at the school worthy to be
added to the short list of approved flight schools outside of
China.
"CAPT is honored to continue to receive the seal of approval
from the CAAC," said Chris Kokai, Executive Director of CAPT, LLC.
"We pride ourselves on our intensive flight training program and
the caliber of student that CAPT produces. CAPT continues to be
represented around the world, including China's premier
airlines."
The Cecil campus is due to open in the Fall of 2008. CAPT will
occupy space at Cecil with a capacity to hold 60 - 80 students. The
program at Cecil Field will be identical to the 12-14 month ab
initio program at CAPT's primary location at the Flagler County
Airport in Palm Coast, Florida. Each student will be trained
at the highest levels of flight training curriculum.
In-flight training is conducted in new Cirrus SR20 and Piper
PA-44 Seminole aircraft. Both aircraft utilize full-glass panel
cockpit displays similar to those found in commercial aircraft.
