This program is geared towards
Commercial Pilots with a current Instrument-Multiengine rating.
Candidates will go through first officer training on Turboprops
or in Turbojets, under US FAR 135 flight operations with passenger
and/or cargo.
This program is amongst the least
expensive and highest value programs on the global flight training
market today. It is also one of the most versatile, offering several
types of aircraft to choose from. From piston twins like the C-402
or PA-31, to turboprop twins like the Beech 99, Beech 1900, and
Metroliner, or twin turbojets like the Learjet 24, 25 and 35.
We also feature DC-3 time building
for those who love vintage flight providing an extraordinary experience
flying a DC-3 cargo plane daily across the border to Mexico.
The Candidate may purchase a minimum
time block of 250 hours. The more time blocks are purchased in
advance and the lower the hourly price will be. Rainbow Air Academy
offers blocks of 250, 500, 1000, or 1250 hour of time building.
Entry requirements for Turbojet aircraft are Total Time 500 hours
of which 250 in turboprop or Total Time 1000 hours and 200 in
Multi Engine aircraft.
We guarantee a monthly flight
activity of at least 40 hours minimum on average after completion
of training. Though most candidates fly more than minimums every
month, please budget your time accordingly. If you are interested
in signing on as captain and a paid crew-member for a minimum
two year work contract, please ask your Rainbow Air Academy Representative
for details.
