Cost

The ground course will be on-line (Zoom, also called 'distant learning'). The written test cannot be done online, for this the candidate has to be either at our homebase Zurich or the instructor travels to the trainee.

Flight training: this can be out of Zurich on one of our aircraft (we operate 3 SF50's in Zurich, a G1 and two G2+) or on the customers airplane, wherever it stands. A situation we often have is that the customer has bought a used airplane on another continent. In this case our instructor travels to wherever the aircraft is and ferries it together with the owner or the owners pilots to its final destination. We are specialized on the export formalities e.g. for the USA. Atlantic ferry flights, attending the customer and used as training towards the type rating or towards the required SOE (supervised operational experience) hours are our speciality.

Our instructors are very experienced on type and on Jets in general. We will define a program preparing you either on your or on our airplane for the EASA SF50 type rating skill test in the demanding high-traffic-intensity area in the middle of Europe.
