Recurrent programs are typically completed in 1-2 days, while initial programs will take an average of 3-4 days. Initial programs will also require a number of hours of initial aircraft operating experience (IOE) to be conducted in the owner’s aircraft following the ground and simulator phase of the program.

The airlines have utilized recurrent training for many years, and it’s a major contributor to their excellent safety record. At Century Air, we firmly believe that the same training principles should apply to General Aviation. We have successfully adapted these airline training concepts to the General Aviation level.

Yes. Our simulators are highly realistic, and can accurately duplicate the flight characteristics of many common single and multi-engine airplanes (see list of aircraft for available training). The equipment includes HSI, RMI, and dual Garmin GNS-430 navigators. The most important aspect of our simulators is airline quality visuals as well as real aircraft flying control and feel.

To prepare the student for real-world operations, our recurrent and initial programs begin with presentations on airworthiness, aircraft-specific systems, and IFR flying, and then progress to the flight simulator. Normal VFR and IFR operations, as well as many types of emergencies, will all be covered in the simulator.
