Turbine (Jet and Turbo-Prop) Transition Course
For piston pilots desiring to upgrade into a turbine-powered aircraft for the first time, this one day, eight hour course details what is involved in correctly operating and maintaining a turbine engine. Basic turbine engine theory is discussed, along with turbine engine terminology and limitations. Classroom time will total eight hours when this course is completed.
Multi-Engine Instrument Refresher
Intended for instrument rated pilots who operate piston or turbine powered, multi-engine aircraft, this two day course is comprised of four hours of classroom and six hours of simulator instruction. Classroom study details multi-engine operating procedure and performance characteristics as well as IFR regulations and procedures. Simulator training consists of the practical application of one engine inoperative operations and in-flight IFR procedures and techniques. Simulators used for this training represent either piston or turbine powered multi-engine aircraft
Single-Engine Instrument Refresher
Intended for instrument rated pilots who operate piston or turbine powered, single-engine aircraft, this two day course is comprised of four hours of classroom and six hours of simulator instruction. Classroom study details proper use of checklists, instrument procedures, proper use of POH aircraft performance charts, weather basics and applicable FARs. Simulator training consists of practice in most phases of an instrument flight from takeoff to landing. Simulators used for this training represent either single engine piston or turbine powered aircraft as applicable

Upset Recover Training
Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) is the leading cause of aviation fatalities today. Our goal is to help students understand the causes of Upsets that can lead to LOC-I and to learn to recognize and avoid them and, when necessary, recover from them. The course consists of a combination of ground school and in-aircraft training in an customer chosen aircraft: The training is completed in 1 day (4 hours of ground school and 2 flights / 1 hour each). General Operational Subjects include training in the following areas: • Causes of Loss of Control in Flight (LOC-1) • Upset Prevention • Upset Recovery Techniques • High Altitude Operations • Swept Wing Fundamentals • LOC-1 Accident Review
Turbine Rotorcraft Transition Course
For piston pilots desiring to upgrade into a turbine-powered aircraft for the first time, this 5 day, 30 hour course details what is involved in correctly operating and maintaining a turbine engine. Basic turbine engine theory is discussed, along with turbine engine terminology and limitations. Classroom time will total eight hours when this course is completed and 20 to 25 hours of dual instruction including starting, shut down, engine management, engine monitoring, and performance procedures.

Endorsement Ground Instruction
High Altitude
This one-half day, 4-hour combined classroom and simulator course is designed to meet the ground training requirements of FAR 61.31(g). “Additional training required for operating pressurized aircraft capable of operating at high altitudes.” This regulation states, with a few exceptions, that no person may act as pilot in command of a pressurized aircraft (an aircraft that has a service ceiling or maximum operating altitude, whichever is lower, above 25,00 feet MSL), unless that person has received and logged ground training from an authorized instructor and obtained an endorsement in the person’s logbook or training recorded from an authorized instructor who certifies the person has satisfactorily accomplished the ground training
RVSM
This two hour classroom course results in endorsement and authorization for pilots desiring to operate in RVSM airspace (defined as FLIGHT LEVEL 290-410 inclusive).
