Aero-News: Quote of the Day
ANN's Quote of the Day usually
derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick
quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and
issues.
Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if
particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become
future Quotes of the Day.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Using a simulator for a customer's entire type rating
means we no longer have to schedule training around aircraft
availability or weather conditions. We also will bring two
additional Level D simulators online very soon and all will be
operated about 20 hours per day, seven days a week. This additional
simulator capacity will enable us to move customers through our
type rating program faster, and also allow the start of recurrent
flight training for our customers who have been operating their
Eclipse 500s for a year."

Raburn. Eclipse announced Tuesday the FAA has awarded the
planemaker's training provider, Higher Power Aviation (HPA),
authorization to conduct Eclipse 500 Type Training under HPA's Part
142 Training Certificate. The authorization should increase
Eclipse's training capacity dramatically... as it enables the
company to type-rate customers in a Level D full-motion simulator
before they take delivery of their planes, instead of using the
customer's completed aircraft.
