Web-Based System Tracks Training, Makes Materials Available
Online
Cessna has taken the wraps off its new Cessna Sport/Private
Pilot Course, making it available to its Cessna Pilot Center
network. The training program meets acceptable training standards
for private pilot certification under Part 141 by the Federal
Aviation Administration.
"The new training program is a key component of Cessna's effort
to make flying more accessible and to re-energize pilot training,"
said Tom Aniello, Cessna's vice president of Marketing.
"This new training program coupled with the anticipated
deliveries of Cessna's new light sport aircraft, the 162
Skycatcher, later this year makes this the complete package for
anyone who wants to learn to fly," Aniello said.
The major advantages of the Cessna Flight Training System are
that it's Web-based for maximum customer flexibility, and it
incorporates customizable scenarios for maximum instructor
flexibility.
The Web-based system keeps track of every aspect of customer
training and they can access training materials from any location
where they have access to the Internet. And since the program is
Web-based, changes and updates can be made instantly, with no
replacement materials to distribute.

The Cessna Flight Training System also allows an instructor to
customize the program to meet the requirements of the local
training environment while not compromising the integrity of the
training system.
Cessna Pilot Centers are flight training affiliates that use
Cessna's proprietary training curriculum and Cessna aircraft. There
are more than 280 in the United States and around the world,
offering customers an array of services including flight
training.
