Gives Potential VLJ Customers Choice In Aircraft Types

jetAVIVA announced Monday it is expanding its Jet Familiarization Training program to include the Cessna Citation Mustang.

The company has offered such familiarization training in the Eclipse 500 since September 2007. In response to high demand, the company will begin offering pre-type rating training in Cessna Citation Mustang later this year.

The JFT program is built to allow pilots to achieve four primary goals:

• Become a safer jet pilot
• Gain experience in a Very Light Jet
• Excel during type rating training
• If applicable, help determine which VLJ is right for each client

JFT is focused on the customer experience: fly when you want, where you want and concentrate on the areas you feel are of highest value. With jetAVIVA’s flexible training programs, JFT can accommodate both the experienced jet pilot looking for type specific training and the novice general aviation pilot looking for complete immersion in jet operations.

"I used to own a King Air and am currently flying an Aerostar,” says Lloyd Martin, jetAVIVA client. "I felt like I needed some exposure to jets before I went to school for my type rating. JFT gave me the confidence I need to get through the type rating training smoothly."

JFT is offered in three packages: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced, providing 10.5, 25, and 45 hours of flight time respectively. All programs come with necessary training materials and ground school.
