Eclipse Pilots Can Choose Either Training Center Or On-Site
Option
Linear Air, an Eclipse 500 air-taxi
and training provider, and High Performance Aircraft Training, a
provider of unusual attitude training and jet transition
instruction, announced Monday that the companies have teamed up to
provide Eclipse 500 pilot training under Linear Air's FAA-approved
Eclipse training program.
Linear Air will continue to offer pilot training at its training
center at Hanscom Airport in Bedford, MA outside Boston, offering
pilots the option of a concentrated experience away from the
distractions of daily life, either in their own airplane or in one
of Linear Air's. This option gives Eclipse pilots the most
efficient and least costly means by which to complete a training
event.

High Performance Aircraft Training (HPAT) will make 'house
calls', offering Eclipse pilots the option of training at their
home airport. HPAT can also provide the upset training
required prior to entering Eclipse type rating training in its L39
jet aircraft.
Peter Zaccagnino, CEO of High
Performance Aircraft Training, commented "Our team includes the
former Chief Pilot of Eclipse Aviation, so we know the Eclipse 500
inside and out. In Linear Air, we've found a partner that
understands the airplane and the importance of professional pilot
training for every Eclipse pilot." Bill Herp, CEO of Linear Air
further noted "Pete and his team of on-site instructors at High
Performance are the perfect compliment to our training center-based
approach."
Linear Air's program is authorized under Part 61 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations and FAA Advisory Circular AC 61-137, which
specifically addresses the unique training requirements of the
Eclipse 500 jet. All Eclipse 500 pilots must receive initial
training to fly the Eclipse, mentor training to fly single-pilot,
and ongoing recurrent training at either six or twelve month
intervals depending on pilot experience.
