Recurrent Training

Annual Recurrent Flight & Ground Training is a good idea even if it is not required by the FAR’s or your Insurance Company. The Pilot In Command of an aircraft certified for 2 crew members must annually complete a FAR 61:58 check ride---similar to a ATP Type Rating Check Ride. Many Insurance Companies require an initial check out in a new aircraft (twin or seaplane) by a qualified CFI approved by that Insurance Company for that pilot. Often the pilot must complete factory school or Simulator Training. The FAR’s must be met, but the Insurance Company runs the show-----The Insurance Company has the final say.

Simulator Annual Recurrent Training is good; but I feel that actual Flight Training should be part of the syllabus. Insurance Companies are reluctant to approve just flight training; especially with your favorite CFI at your home airport. Also there are many incidents/accidents in flight training situations. You can request just Flight Training from your insurance company---good luck.

A FAR 61:58 flight check conducted by a FAA Pilot Examiner or FAA Pilot Proficiency Examiner meets the FAR’s, but may not satisfy your Insurance Company. USSIC has approved me in the past, but USAIG and other underwriters may approve me if you make the request.

Owners of Citations for which I am FAA authorized to conduct check rides have requested that I conduct their Annual Recurrent Training. I have been approved on a per pilot/aircraft situation. You make the request & I submit a Recurrent Training Syllabus for their approval. I have been approved for Initial Training in some light twins---but again per pilot/aircraft. No blanket approval.

You make the request and I will submit my syllabus for their approval. I charge $2,500.oo plus expenses.----a bit better than the BIG BOYS.
