Flexjet pilots train to standards that meet or exceed those of their commercial airline counterparts. Before joining our team, pilot candidates must go through a rigorous airline-type selection process that evaluates intellectual abilities, operative skills, and experience. It also takes into account such human factors as interpersonal skills, which are especially vital in the cockpit.
At the time of hiring our pilots have at least:
- 2,500 hours total flying time
- 500 hours turbine powered aircraft time
- 500 hours multi-engine aircraft time
- Air Transport Pilot Certificate
In reality, our pilots' experience greatly exceeds this. On average our pilots have more than 6,500 hours of flying time.
Flexjet pilots are among the best trained in the industry. While the FAA mandates training once per year, we require training twice per year. We're the only program that has complete control over its pilot training. Flexjet pilots are only trained by Flexjet instructors who are line qualified to fly the same type aircraft they are assigned to as instructors. No other fractional ownership program does this. Training takes place at Bombardier Aerospace Customer Training Centers in Dallas/Ft. Worth and Montréal using State-of-the-art, full motion, Level D simulators.
