FTS Now Offering New GA Training Programs

GA Pilots Can Now Get CFI, MEI And Instrument Training

Flight Training Services International (FTSI) has informed ANN it's introduced several new training programs through its CAPT (Commercial Airline Pilot Training) program. The new programs are aimed specifically at helping general aviation pilots improve their skills.

"After designing a commercial airline pilot training program built on 80 years of pilot training experience, we have decided to create training programs specifically for the general aviation industry" said Cary Green, Director of the CAPT program. "Improving general aviation safety is very important to us, and these programs are the first of several new courses the CAPT Program will offer the general aviation community."

The CAPT program is now offering the following programs:

  • CFI, CFII, MEI Courses
  • Cirrus Owner & Operator Training Programs
  • Upset Recovery Training Program (In cooperation with APS
    Training)
  • Instrument Proficiency Course
  • Glass Cockpit Transition Course
  • Structured Block Time Building Packages

FTSI has contracted with APS Emergency Maneuver Training to conduct upset recovery training for its customers. The three-day, five-mission course is billed as a rigorous combination of hands-on, maneuver-based and scenario-based training profiles. The course is said to both increase a student's fundamental flying skills and aid the development of aeronautical decision making skills amidst potentially life-threatening upset/emergency conditions.

The structured block time building packages allow customers to build time in either a Diamond DA40 or Cirrus SR20 aircraft for a set price. Packages are offered for 25, 50 and 100 hour blocks.

FTSI says each of its new GA flight training programs follows its CAPT program's unique proprietary training curriculum. The company claims its CAPT curriculum is designed to effectively teach pilots how to safely operate complex and technologically advanced aircraft in single-pilot environments.
