How are Flight Options pilots trained? What is their experience level?
All Flight Options pilots are trained at CAE SimuFlight. Flight Options goes above and beyond in our pilot training program with a state-of-the-art on-line supplemental ground training system. Aircraft are flown by two pilot-in-command qualified crewmembers. Both pilots are type-rated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in their aircraft with Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) classification. Every Flight Options pilot receives annual simulator-based training and completes a semi-annual instrument check flight. The average pilot has accrued more than 6,900 hours of flight time. All pilots are full-time employees and are trained at the company’s expense.
