Affordable, Insurance Company Approved Piper Cheyenne Training

Professional Piper Cheyenne Initial
and Recurrent Flight Training

Executive Flight Training is a small flight school that I started in 1986 while I was a Captain/Check Pilot with US Airways. Since then, I have specialized in Piper Cheyenne I, II and III training. I offer training to pilots that have come to the realization that a cookie cutter approach to initial or recurrent is not appropriate for them. Many of my clients have attended local flight schools, training academies and even big name simulator schools only to find that high price doesn't necessarily mean high quality. Simply put, I offer the best Cheyenne flight training available in the owner's airplane on an accelerated, flexible, and affordable basis. I avoid the distractions or delays of a large flight school. I am an experienced Piper Cheyenne pilot and instructor with over 10,000 hours of instructional experience. And to be honest, no matter where you go for training, the quality of the training experience is directly related to the quality of the instructor. Finally, I train at your convenience and on your schedule at my location in Beaufort, SC. I get you in and out as quickly as possible without compromising quality.

My priorities are:

  1. Training safer pilots through superior instruction in their own aircraft.
  2. Conferring useful tips and techniques learned from teaching hundreds of Piper Cheyenne pilots.
  3. Exceeding FAA or insurance requirements for initial or recurrent in the minimum amount of time.
  4. Offering an economical alternative to simulator schools without sacrificing quality.

Regardless of your experience level, you will leave here a better and safer pilot than when you arrived.

COMPARE MY PROGRAM TO OTHER SCHOOLS:

ECONOMICAL - You save thousands of dollars compared to other schools and still get the same insurance accepted certificate.

EXPERIENCE - You will work one on one with a 30,000 hour former Usairways check pilot that has thousands of hours of corporate and instructional experience in the Piper Cheyenne.

GROUND SCHOOL - You will experience one-on-one training utilizing the latest training aids and computer graphics. It's the way training is supposed to be with one instructor, one student and one simulator working till the job is done. All aircraft systems are taught by an A&P mechanic.

SCHEDULING - Individualized training allows you to complete your program faster. Faster training means you spend less time away from home and spend less money.

DISCOUNTS - As a returning student, you automatically save 10% off the tuition. Multiple pilots that train at the same time also receive a 50% discount.

SAFETY - Ultimately you want the confidence to safely fly the Cheyenne in any situation. By flying in your plane with your equipment utilizing my scenario based syllabus, you be confident in your ability to handle any situation in a Piper Cheyenne.

SYLLABUS - Rather than following the same scripted training program every time, you will be challenged with a syllabus that is individually tailored to your experience level. You will be trained and evaluated on realistic scenarios rather than being over loaded with unlikely multiple system failures.

FLEXIBILITY - Do you need special training? Do you need Garmin 600 training? Want to train at your location in your airplane? Just call.

Regardless of the type of Piper Cheyenne you fly or your experience level, you will leave here a better and safer pilot than when you arrived.
