Facility To Be Located At AFW
Adam Aircraft announced
Monday at NBAA 2007 its partnership with aviation training and
education company SAFERjett to provide all pilot training for its
A500 and A700 aircraft. A new state-of-the-art training facility
will be based at Fort Worth Alliance Airport beginning in late
2008.
“Adam Aircraft chose SAFERjett because it was founded by
aviation professionals with operational experience in developing
and implementing complex training programs and they are on the
ground floor in creating a center of excellence when it comes to
very light jet (VLJ) training,” said Adam Aircraft President
Duncan Koerbel. “SAFERjett is born and bred for the VLJ
market and we’re excited to bring their world-class training
techniques for our innovative aircraft to our customers.”
Initially created as a Crew Resource Management (CRM) company,
SAFERjett made a company transformation in late 2004 to focus
primarily on the VLJ market.
The training center will sport an Advanced Aviation Training
Device (AATD) and Virtual Flight Deck (VFD) supplied by Aerosim
Technologies, and Flight Training Devices including a full motion
Level D simulator developed by Mechtronix Systems Inc. designer and
manufacturer of full flight simulators.
The Adam training regimine will also utilize computer based
training learning programs created by Pelesys Learning Systems Inc.
Both the A500 and A700 will utilize elements of the FAA/Industry
Training Standards (FITS) program, a partnership between FAA,
Industry, and Academia designed to enhance general aviation safety,
including Learner Centered Grading, Single Pilot Resource
Management for owner operators and Crew Resource Management for
flight department and fleet operators and Scenario Based
Training.
SAFERjett is in the process of building the first A700 full
motion Level D simulator with Aerosim and Mechtronix which will
allow A700 pilots to receive their type rating without flying the
actual aircraft. The company’s new 50,000 square foot
facility at Alliance Airport will be completed by late 2008.
“SAFERjett has extensive experience in Advanced
Qualification Program training that uses proficiency based
advancement and a scenario based training theory,” said Paul
Hinton, SAFERjett CEO. “These elements are critical in
providing a realistic, effective training experience that will
properly prepare the Adam Aircraft clients for operation in
today’s demanding aviation environment.”
“This is a long term partnership that will mature and will
be a part of the new breed of training. While we may compete on
execution with other training companies, we will never compete on
the content of the program and we look forward to making
history,” said Hinton.
