Bombadier enhances training for pilots

Bombadier has made it easier for pilots to undergo recurrent training for its leading Challenger 605 and Challenger 650 business jets with online remote training now available for the ground school FAA-certified course.

The new program delivers the same comprehensive and professional instruction that Bombardier is known for, while reducing the length of on-site training.

With more booking flexibility and a wider range of simulator time slots, pilots can now complete the simulator component of the course at Bombardier's training centres in Montreal and Dallas.

The updated ground school component, comprising of 15 hours of self-paced online training, can be completed at the pilot's own convenience.

Once pilots complete the online component, they are welcomed by an instructor at the training center to answer any training questions they may have, are provided the latest operational requirements and undergo a one-hour validation exam.

Bombardier offers inhouse OEM-developed courseware for flight and technical training, allowing operators to have the most up-to-date, insider knowledge and technology at their fingertips.

"Our commitment to an exceptional customer experience is the complete package. Not only do we design, build and maintain the world's leading business jets, we maximize our customers' investment through our world-class training programs," said Andy Nureddin, Vice President, Customer Response, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "As an OEM that develops its own pilot and technician training programs, our customers appreciate the added value of our firsthand knowledge and our innovative pedagogical approaches.

With more than 1,100 deliveries and counting of our Challenger 600 series business jets, we expect this course to benefit many flight departments and operators."

Bombardier Business Aircraft operates two training centres equipped with 11 business aircraft simulators - six in Dallas, five in Montreal.
