AirShares Elite New England has launched new training programs for pilots in the AirShares Elite shared ownership program.

By General Aviation News Staff · August 4, 2006 ·

AirShares Elite New England has launched new training programs for pilots in the AirShares Elite shared ownership program. Led by Neil Singer, a 5,000-hour Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) and Gold Seal and Master Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) with expertise in Technically Advanced Aircraft training, the programs include safety seminars, instructor standardization and expanded ground and flight instruction.

Building on AirShares Elite’s existing FAA-Industry Training Standards (FITS) pilot training, the new programs are designed to increase pilot safety, confidence and proficiency. The new safety seminar series will cover practical flying subjects exclusively for AirShares Elite pilots. Additional safety seminars will be open to all pilots and the general public. Instructor standardization will help ensure training consistency for AirShares Elite CFIs.

AirShares Elite New England is evaluating several turbine-powered aircraft, including very light jets (VLJs), to add to the shared ownership program. Singer and AirShares Elite New England expect to work together to develop a turbine transition training program for high-altitude, pressurized, turbine-powered aircraft operations.
