Sharp, Current, Compliant
Recurrent training keeps a business jet pilot proficient, compliant, and operationally sharp.
Less Travel, Sharper Crews
Online ground school runs year round, completed in your own time. The residential simulator phase is shorter, with less travel and less time away from the line. Operator specific items such as LVO, PBN, Steep Approach, and ETOPS can be added in when you need them.
Course Details
-
Duration
2 + 2 days — two visits per year, six months apart. Each visit comprises one day of recurrent training (UPRT + phased recurrent items aligned to the operator’s OM-D) and one day of Operator Proficiency Check (OPC). The order of training and check is at the operator’s discretion.
Ground school for both is delivered via the year-round online module library; no residential ground-school days are required.

License Proficiency Check (LPC)
Every course culminates in the License Proficiency Check, delivered on the Level D Full Flight Simulator by a Type Rating Examiner. Commercial crews also complete the Operator Proficiency Check, which may be delivered alongside the License Proficiency Check for constituted crews or separately by the receiving operator.

Pre-requirements
Hold a valid Dornier 328-100/-300 type rating and a valid EASA Class 1 medical certificate.

Annual refresh of operating procedures and altimetry checks for flight in airspace with reduced vertical separation.
Annual refresh of approaches, departures, and contingency procedures for airports designated as special by your operator.
Annual refresh of upset prevention and recovery, covering stall, spiral, and unusual attitude recoveries on a Level D simulator.
Annual refresh of smoke and fume scenarios, including deployment and operation of the Emergency Vision Assurance System.

Qualification for long range routes that operate beyond standard diversion times from a suitable airport.
FAQs
-
Is the training accepted by EASA and the UK CAA?
Yes. AeronautX is an Approved Training Organisation under EASA, with parallel UK CAA approval. We develop our training courses in house, built around competence based training and assessment principles, and the data behind every simulator we operate has been generated using up to date modelling techniques and modern simulator technology. Both the courseware and the simulator qualifications are approved directly by the authorities, with no dependency on a manufacturer relationship. Every certificate we issue is accepted by EASA, the UK CAA, and the operators we work with.
-
Is ground school done online, and can crews complete it at any time of year?
Yes to both. Recurrent ground school runs through our online module library, available year round and completed in the crew’s own time. Crews arrive having already covered the theory, so the residential phase is shorter, the travel footprint smaller, and the time away from operations minimal.
