FSANA Seeking Data on Cost of Airman Practical Tests

FSANA Promotes Member Schools
in USA Today to Over 1.2 Million

 

This FAA certification elevates the Vulcanair V1.0, a four-seat, single-engine aircraft with an IO-360 180 hp Lycoming engine, equipped with a full IFR Garmin G500 avionics package, as the new higher standard in the training/recreational aircraft category. An excellent aircraft for training, the V1.0 has been operating as an EASA-certified aircraft in Europe for some time. Because of the standard constant-speed propeller, it has superior speed (maximum cruise speed 130 KTAS), useful load (919 lbs.) and climb rate over other aircraft in this market. 

 

The V1.0 is a rugged aircraft originally designed for European flight school and aero club markets. This European general aviation market almost always operates out of grass strips and  requires a design that can withstand decades of wear by new students dealing with coarse and uneven airfield terrain.  

 

Vulcanair has acquired more than 60 V1.0 orders in 2017. Aircraft deliveries will begin before Sun 'n Fun 2018, where the aircraft will be on display. Learn more at info@ameraviainc.com. 

ATP Flight School Adds King Schools Courses to Curriculum 

 

Airline Transport Professionals Flight School (ATP), the nation's leader in providing the most efficient training path to a successful airline pilot career, has recently added King Schools' online video courses as a key element in their Airline Career Pilot Program.

 

On sign-up, students will get a head start with the King Schools Private Pilot Ground School and Test Prep Course. Then, when they start their flight training, they will be enrolled in the King Schools Private Pilot Practical Test Course, which provides HD video showing a model checkride with an FAA examiner using the new Airmen Certification Standards (ACS). And to provide a leg up in operating the Garmin 430, the standardized GPS platform in the ATP fleet, students will also receive the King Schools Garmin 430 Online Video Course. All three courses are integrated into ATP's online student portal, where students can go for handy access to resources needed during their training .

 

"We've gotten rave responses from our students about the King video courses," said Justin Dennis, president of ATP. "We take students from zero time to an airline cockpit in about two years. To make that happen we have to be organized and efficient. The clear, simple and practical King courses will be key in helping us accomplish that. We are looking to expand our use of King online video courses in the future," continued Dennis.

ATP's Airline Career Pilot Program prepares pilots for airline careers from zero time to 1,500 hours, with CFI jobs and airline employment. Addressing the pilot shortage, airlines attract new pilots to the industry with ATP's Tuition Reimbursement Program, where airlines sponsor a portion of pilots' flight training loan repayment. ATP also provides type-rating and ATP CTP certification. ATP's 300 aircraft fly over 211,000 hours annually to provide nearly 5,900 FAA pilot certificates each year.

ALSIM has announced the sale of an AL42 simulator to Journey Air, a Canadian flight school located in Windsor, Ontario. This will be the first AL42, a replica of the Diamond DA42, in North America.

Based at the Windsor International Airport, less than 10 miles from Detroit, Journey Air is in a prime location to take advantage of Canada's four seasons, as well as the opportunity to interact with U.S. flight controllers -- something that U.S. military pilots go to Windsor for.

Journey Air works closely with the University of Windsor on their Aeronautics Leadership Program, which was developed in response to the growing demand for pilots. The AL42 will help train future pilots in this program.

Jonathan Carnie, Journey Air's Operations manager says, "Our aim was to find a flight training device which would replicate our multi engine and instrument training aircraft as closely as possible, enabling us to maximize the transfer of training from the device to the aircraft and keep our operation running as efficiently as possible. After looking at different manufacturers, we decided on the ALSIM AL42. Between the high quality of the simulation and the device itself, along with ALSIM's reputation for excellent customer support, it was an easy decision to make."

Journey Air joins a growing list of global flight schools located throughout Asia, Europe and the Middle East that own and operate an ALSIM AL42.

About Journey Air Ltd
