8.1 Training

One of the most enjoyable aspects of any hobby is working to become better at what you do. We want to help all our members grow through their experiences and their abilities. While outlined more specifically in subsequent operations manuals for training, our Academy program is expanding and designed to provide pilots of every level the opportunity to grow their knowledge of operating a variety of popular aircraft. It will also provide a way for our most experienced pilots to refresh their prior knowledge. The training department we envision building will continually strive to provide a dynamic learning environment for all our members.

8.2 Pilot Training Academy

Upon acceptance into American Virtual Airlines, all pilots are required to complete the necessary training courses before joining the Main Line. The courses within the Training Academy are designed to train and/or verify your skills as a pilot.

You will receive comprehensive instruction on both the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A3xx series. After completing the coursework, you will be required to perform check rides in both aircraft and successfully pass them in order to advance to Main Line operations.

Once a pilot has completed all requirements, they will be assigned a graduation date and scheduled to transfer to their hub of choice, provided there is no operational need that requires placement at an alternate hub due to staffing shortages.
