jetAVIVA, an authority on Very Light Jets (VLJs), is expanding its Jet Familiarization Training program to include the Cessna Citation Mustang. The company has been offering Jet Familiarization Training (JFT) in the Eclipse 500 since September 2007. In response to high demand, the company will begin offering pre-type rating training in Cessna Citation Mustang later this year. The company’s fleet of six VLJs, including Eclipse 500s and Mustangs, is growing quickly.
The JFT program is designed to achieve four primary goals:
• Become a safer jet pilot
• Gain experience in a Very Light Jet
• Excel during type rating training
• If applicable, help determine which VLJ is right for each Client
With jetAVIVA’s flexible training programs, JFT can accommodate both the experienced jet pilot looking for type specific training and the novice general aviation pilot looking for complete immersion in jet operations.
JFT is offered in three packages: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced, providing 10.5, 25, and 45 hours of flight time respectively. All programs come with necessary training materials and ground school. The company said its JFT experience is helpful in determining which type of VLJ they would like to buy.
