Usually initial training takes about four days to complete.  Some take a little more and some a little less. All training is done to FAA standards and it is expected that you are a current, instrument-proficient, and serious aviator.  The TBM/PA-46/King Air airframes are no airplanes for amateurs, and a serious approach to flying is required for any legitimate level of safety.  Don’t let this scare you if you’re not Chuck Yeager…just make sure you come to flight training with your game-face on, ready to learn.  We go through the systems in detail, fly IFR and VFR, and train through emergency procedures.  At the end of the training, you’ll feel comfortable going anywhere with your new magic carpet.

Pricing:

$6,000 with Joe Casey

$5,000 for turbine initial with Deanna, Chad, or Jon

$4,000 for piston initial with Ben

We hear often that clients love our training but really don’t like having to be away from home/work for so long. That prompted us to launch a new video-assisted recurrent training program. Our goal is to allow customers to receive training that’s as good as the ground school you get at KJSO, but only require one day on the field and away from your home base. We hope this allows us to train more people in the PA46 and help create a safer community of pilots.

1 Day: $1,800 + expenses

Recurrent training is a lot of fun.  You get to brush up on skills that may have tarnished and ensure no bad habits have formed.  It’s a low-stress time where you get away from your busy schedule and focus on flying airplanes properly.  We fly IFR, VFR, and train emergency procedures as well.  At the end of training, you’ll have a BFR, ICC, and hopefully, I will have found a few things that will make you a better, safer pilot.

Pricing:

2 Days: $2,200 + expenses

If we train at our home airport (KJSO), then no additional costs are involved beyond the daily training costs. If the training is at an away-from-JSO airport (meaning, we can’t sleep in our own bed!), then the training costs detailed above are multiplied by a factor of 1.5 for those days away from JSO.

All travel and expenses paid by customer.
