Goldberg Aviation has been training exclusively turboprop operators for 17 years. Typically our initial training sessions require 3-6 days and our recurrent training sessions require 2-3 days.
We believe that ground training in classrooms and cockpit procedure training is an essential basis for flying complicated aircraft. However, we firmly believe that there is no substitute for in-cockpit training. The in-cockpit training is exceptionally valuable when it includes your:
