Sierra Pacific Aviation Inc. (a
subsidiary of SkyBridge Technology Group), tells ANN that it is
working with aviation insurance underwriters to develop and
administer initial and recurrent training for a variety of
aircraft.
SPA notes that most high performance complex aircraft require
that pilots receive initial and annual recurrent training before an
insurance underwriter will cover them with a policy. Fashioned
after proven air carrier training techniques, this advanced
aircraft specific training utilizes scenario based lessons
combining ground, simulation and in-flight training.
“This initiative is the result of Sierra Pacific’s
combined efforts, since it integrates our FITS training programs,
our Cirrus Standardized Training Center, our prolific use of flight
simulation, and the establishment of our 141 Pilot School,”
stated Brent Neville, President of Sierra Pacific.
“We will be expanding our insurance approved training in
2007. The ultimate goal for Sierra Pacific is to build a Safety
System Continuous Learning culture, and this is a big step in that
direction,” Neville added. Insurance required training has
proven an effective method to improve aviation safety, and keep
pilots proficient and is mandated by most underwriters.
James Wheeler CEO (SBTG) added that, “We continue to be
extremely pleased with the progress for Sierra Pacific Aviation in
2006 and feel that getting involved with the insurance companies
requiring pilots to take these additional training will increase
Sierra’s over all training program, thereby increasing its
overall 2007 revenues.”
