Sim-Based Training Offered For King Air 200
FlyRight Inc. received FAA
certification Tuesday as the country’s newest 142 Flight
Training Center. The FAA’s approval of FlyRight’s
training programs at the highest level of accreditation comes after
3 years of intensive program development. FlyRight's 142 Training
Center certification enables the company to offer initial, ATP, and
recurrent training programs entirely in-house, using its King Air
B200 and Raytheon 1900D Level-C full motion simulators.
"FAA involvement in our program development has resulted in
raising the bar to the higher level of operational and training
effectiveness," said Jim Crawford, Director of Operations for
FlyRight. "All of our customized courseware, including curriculums,
Pilot Training Manual, Quick Reference Handbook, and animated
PowerPoints, were scrutinized by the local Flight Standards
District Office. Their feedback enabled us to hone the program,
building on all the experience of our staff and the FAA, to create
a world-class training experience."
In recognition of the experience and expertise of FlyRight
instructors, the FAA also certified a FlyRight instructor as a
Training Center Evaluator, eliminating the requirement for FAA
examiners for checkrides. The company says its initial and
recurrent King Air 200 courses will begin immediately.
FlyRight was founded in 2003 to provide professional,
simulator-based flight training to FAA part 91 and certificated
operators. Based at the Concord Regional Airport, FlyRight's 10,000
square foot training center is centrally located on the east coast,
just 20 minutes from Charlotte-Douglas Airport.
