Flight School Aids Pilot Recruitment Program
American Eagle Airlines
has defined its intention of recruiting new pilots through a
program created by the FlightSafety Academy in Vero Beach,
Florida.
Called a Direct Track Program, the process of qualification,
evaluation, and recruitment is streamlined into a formal,
consistent initiative. The number of hours of training in the
American Eagle Airlines standardized operating procedures, at the
Academy, is defined along with other qualifications such as pilot
licenses, and hours flown in single and multi-engine aircraft.
With this program in place the aspiring new pilot can prepare
for a professional flying career with the confidence that the steps
being taken through the Direct Track Program in building a logbook
are exactly in accordance with the requirements of an airline that
is actively recruiting.
The Direct Track
Program includes the use of the flight Academy’s full flight,
FAA Level “D” simulator for the EMB-145 regional jet
airliner, which is part of the American Eagle fleet. The program
initially includes a combination of ground school,
briefing/debriefing and single and multi-engine evaluations. The
initial phases are followed by Line Operational Experience - then
Advanced Simulator training.
The program’s compliance with the American Eagle
procedures provides experience in the formality of the airline
environment and prepares the candidate to meet the airline’s
stringent evaluations with confidence. The modules of the program
total 13 weeks of preparation for the pilot who has proven his or
her eligibility. The qualifications include an accumulation of at
least 400 hours of total flight time, including 100 hours of
multi-engine time, of which 43 hours may be accumulated in the
Direct Track program.
The FlightSafety Academy has been preparing pilots for
professional flying careers for nearly 40 years. The
Academy’s campus at Vero Beach Airport encompasses student
and academic facilities and includes one of the largest fleet of
training aircraft in the United States. The Academy is the only
initial training establishment to include FAA- approved Level
“D” full flight simulators in its facilities, along
with a wide range of advanced training devices. The air fleet
includes two aerobatic aircraft for upset and disorientation
training.
