Jet
Aeronautical LLC was founded by Steven W.
Scates, an accomplished
professional pilot who has served as
a captain
for both FAR 121 and FAR 135 Airlines. Steven is a San Diego
native and graduate of Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University’s
Prescott Campus in 1994. Jet Aeronautical is a current member
of NBAA and
SDRAA and is active within the business aviation community as
it relates to training.
Jet
Aeronautical was founded on the basis of providing advanced
flight training in the most realistic and safest manner possible
in Cessna Citation (Both 500 & 525 Series) and Beechcraft
King Air (90, 100 & 200 Series) Aircraft. Jet Aeronautical has taken
a different approach than other training facilities. Use only qualified
instructors who have the ability and desire to take a student from
no Citation or King Air time and make them a safe and knowledgeable
pilot. Let the student get up close with the aircraft. Do an actual
pre-flight, don’t just watch a slide show. Use the actual
aircraft as a Cockpit Procedures Trainer. Jet Aeronautical students
get a “hands on” experience with the aircraft they
are training in. This “hands on” experience is backed
up with a classroom training environment that is second to none.
Jet
Aeronautical is also involved in mentoring programs that
allow owner/pilots to receive turbine training prior to the
arrival of
their VLJ and save the cost of the training in their first
year insurance premiums. This program is a direct result
of interaction
with aviation insurance companies.
Although
a majority of Jet Aeronautical training is done in the aircraft,
we do understand and appreciate the value of simulators.
Jet Aeronautical currently uses a simulator for the purpose
of training important procedures and profiles before a student
gets
in the aircraft. It can’t be over-stated too much, that students
that come to Jet Aeronautical will be challenged before they get
in the aircraft, as well as during aircraft training and on to
the final check-ride. Jet Aeronautical is a firm believer that
a combination of both simulator and “in-aircraft” training
offers the best results for students.
In
addition to a “hands on” learning environment,
what makes Jet Aeronautical different than all other training
facilities?
The amount of personalized service you receive while attending
Jet Aeronautical. Steven Scates, the President of Jet Aeronautical
will be involved with your training from day one until completion.
From teaching courses to arranging and flying check rides with
the FAA or DPE, Steven has direct control over the quality of
the product at Jet Aeronautical and it shows. Check with the
other
training facilities and ask a few pointed questions regarding
daily involvement of key people within the organization and then
give
Jet Aeronautical a call.
