American Eagle Signs Agreement With FlightSafety

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.
