| Refresher Training |
|
Aviation insurance underwriters
usually require refresher training annually. Pilots must demonstrate continued
competence in all skills acquired in successful completion of the initial course.
At times where the pilot has minimal experience and is flying a more complex
and high performance aircraft, the underwriter may require refresher training
on a semi-annual basis.
The curriculum for refresher training represents a reduced version of the initial
training program. Where the pilot may have acquired additional equipment in
the aircraft, such as GPS or MFD, we will integrate this new equipment into
the instrument panel training. Pilots need to become familiar with the entire
operation of such new equipment before employing it under instrument operating
conditions.
Refresher training takes between two to three days to complete, with about twelve
hours spent in ground school and three to five hours flight training. The ultimate
goal again is demonstrated pilot proficiency under normal, emergency, and instrument
flight conditions. The training company acts as the surrogate of the aviation
insurance underwriter, ensuring that the pilot trainee possesses the required
skills to safely conduct flight operations and to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy
condition.
Pilots successfully completing refresher training receive a course completion
certificate, biennial flight review, and instrument proficiency check.
