Adam Partners with SAFERjett

Adam Aircraft forged a partnership with SAFERjett, an aviation training and education company whose state-of-the-art training facility will be based at Fort Worth Alliance Airport. Adam Aircraft will rely on SAFERjett, LLC for all pilot and maintenance training for both the A500 turboprop and A700 VLJ.
SAFERjett is in the process of building the first A700 full motion Level D simulator with Aerosim and Mechtronix which will allow A700 pilots to receive their type rating without flying the actual aircraft. The company's new 50,000-square-foot facility at Alliance Airport will be completed by late 2008.
"Adam Aircraft chose SAFERjett because it was founded by aviation professionals with operational experience in developing and implementing complex training programs and they are on the ground floor in creating a center of excellence when it comes to very light jet training," said Adam Aircraft President Duncan Koerbel. "SAFERjett is born and bred for the VLJ market and we're excited to bring their world-class training techniques for our innovative aircraft to our customers."
Initially created as a Crew Resource Management (CRM) company, SAFERjett made a company transformation in late 2004 to focus primarily on the VLJ market and has created strategic partnerships to supply a training experience including:
• New training facility and infrastructure elements provided by Hillwood Development, a Ross Perot company.
• Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) and Virtual Flight Deck (VFD) supplied by Aerosim Technologies specializing in the design and development of aviation training tools and equipment.
• Flight Training Devices including a full motion Level D simulator developed by Mechtronix Systems Inc. designer and manufacturer of full flight simulators.
• Computer Based Training learning programs created by Pelesys Learning Systems Inc. an E-Learning, multimedia design, and web application development and management company.
Both the A500 and A700 will use elements of the FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) program, a partnership between FAA, Industry, and Academia designed to enhance general aviation safety, including Learner Centered Grading, Single-Pilot Resource Management for owner operators, Crew Resource Management for flight department and fleet operators and Scenario Based Training.
"SAFERjett has extensive experience in Advanced Qualification Program training that uses proficiency based advancement and a scenario based training theory," said Paul Hinton, SAFERjett CEO. "These elements are critical in providing a realistic, effective training experience that will properly prepare Adam Aircraft clients for operation in today's demanding aviation environment."
