Europe-American Aviation Says New Pilots May Be "Cleared Direct"

It's been just over one year since ANN was onhand for the opening of the first Diamond Brilliance Flight Center... and representatives with Europe-American Aviation recently filled us in on the latest developments in Naples, FL.

Europe-American has unveiled Cleared Direct --  the first all-Glass cockpit Ab-Initio Career Pilot Program, an offer tailored to aspring career pilots.

EAA’s fleet now exclusively features a full lineup of Diamond Technologically Advanced Aircraft (TAA,) as well as Diamond Simulation's Level 5 Flight Training Device (FTD).

"Our strategy was simple and straight forward," says Carsten Sturm, President and CEO of Europe-American Aviation. "Offer the best equipment in terms of training efficiency, safety and technology and customers will appreciate it.

"Our safety record is spotless, students learn faster and the check ride pass-rate is excellent," he adds. "Despite rising fuel prices the more efficient Diamond aircraft allowed us to avoid fuel surcharges. All these are direct and measurable advantages for our flight students. The bottom-line for our customers is that they train with state-of-the-art equipment in a safe environment while enjoying very competitive prices."

The first Cleared Direct class will start on November 2, and enrollment has begun. The program will allow future pilots to gain up to 100 hours experience with multi-engine aircraft, equipped with all-glass cockpits and EFIS.
