Jet Type Rating Alternatives
What are my Jet Type Rating Alternatives?
Type-Ratings: When it comes to business jet type ratings, many assume the only training option is the very structured and costly program offered via one of the major training providers.
We have 
successfully trained pilots new to the Phenom with experience levels ranging from no jet time to experienced airline pilots adding their Phenom type rating. We tailor a training program to fit your needs and your schedule. Try getting that from the “big box” providers!
We are here for you and our specialty is one-on-one training for the pilot whose schedule and lifestyle doesn’t fit the “spend two weeks, go to the building to get your type rating” of the major simulator training providers.
One of our clients recently picked up his Phenom and came to us for his training. He felt that getting away from the familiar surroundings of his business would help him to focus and earn his first type rating.
Give us a call and we’ll develop a training program for you and then assist with your FAA mandated Supervised Operational Experience (SOE) requirements. We’re here for you!
Higher Calling Aviation offers the best type rating alternatives!
