Training Underway At SimCom's Orlando Center
SimCom's Orlando training center
recently received FAA approval for a five-day Citation single pilot
training program, which utilizes a Level C simulator and advanced
training materials to provide professional initial and recurrent
programs.
The revised single pilot initial course is conducted over a
five-day period, and combines 19.5 hours of briefing and classroom
instruction with 10 hours of simulator training, concluding with a
check ride in the customer's aircraft. The revised recurrent course
is also conducted in a five-day period in which the customer
receives 19.5 hours of briefing and classroom instruction with 12
hours of simulator training.
"These newly enhanced courses provide the same level of
instruction as our previously approved 7-day courses," said Tracy
Brannon, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, SimCom
Training Centers. "We now offer a more productive, cost effective
single-pilot training experience compared to the 7-day courses. Our
customers appreciate the pace of the program and being able to
return home two days earlier." Satisfactory completion of the
appropriate initial or recurrent training program authorizes
single-pilot operation of the CE-500, CE-550, CE-S550 and
CE-560.
