The course is comprised of six days of ground school, fourteen hours of brief/debrief time, and eighteen hours of simulator training. All systems and phases of flight are covered during initial training. Customers develop a thorough understanding of the IFMS avionics system allowing them to use it to its fullest potential in both normal and emergency situations.

“The SIMCOM Eclipse training course is outstanding. The instructors are true professionals who will go the extra mile to make sure you learn how to operate the Eclipse safely and with confidence.” says Mike Bryant the first customer to complete the new program. “The new simulator is extremely realistic and allows you to train for every conceivable emergency.”

“We now have an avionics configuration in our full flight simulator that matches the majority of the Eclipse aircraft that are in operation today” says Bruce Lowe, SIMCOM Program Coordinator for the Eclipse “Pilots can train the way they will fly which makes for a much more productive learning experience.”
