Program Developed In Conjunction With King Schools
Cessna recognized four Cessna Pilot Centers Monday as the
first training schools to gain approval from the FAA under FAR Part
141 to use Cessna's new Sport/Private Pilot Course in their private
pilot certificate training programs.
The Cessna Pilot Centers gaining Part 141 approval are: Air
Fleet Training Systems Inc., Fairfield, NJ; Snohomish Flying
Service, Snohomish, WA; Trade Winds Aviation (dba for Skyworks
Inc.), San Jose, CA; and Pensacola Aviation Center, Pensacola, FL.
Many other Cessna Pilot Centers are also in the approval process to
add the course to their training programs.
Cessna developed the new Sport/Private Pilot Course in
association with King Schools of San Diego and released it to
Cessna Pilot Centers in September after qualifying it for FAR Part
141 approval. The course is now the foundation of Cessna's Flight
Training System offered by the global CPC network.
The major advantages of the Cessna Flight Training System are that
it's Web-based for maximum customer flexibility, and it
incorporates customizable scenarios for maximum instructor
flexibility.
The web-based system keeps track of every aspect of customer
training and they can access training materials from any location
where they have access to the Internet. And since the program is
Web-based, changes and updates can be made instantly, with no
replacement materials to distribute.
The Cessna Flight Training System also allows an instructor to
customize the program to meet the requirements of the local
training environment while not compromising the integrity of the
training system.
Cessna Pilot Centers are flight training affiliates that use
Cessna's proprietary training curriculum and Cessna aircraft. There
are more than 280 in the United States and around the world,
offering customers an array of services including flight
training.
