Nobody trains more TBM pilots in their aircraft than Goldberg Aviation. We have served hundreds of TBM clients on six continents. Typically our initial training sessions require 3-7 days and our recurrent training sessions require 1-2 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:
