Chileno: the fligth school is Flight Safety Academy, why is it the best?

Lufthansa trains there, Swiss trains there, Air Berlin trains there, FAB sends pilots there, Air China trains there, Saudia Arabia trains there, Nigerian and Ghana Air force train there, the US Army trains there, cargo Lux trains there, Asiana and Korean trains there,.....

In the past most US regionals use to send their pilot there.

facility: ERJ145, Saab 2000, BE C90, CE510 simulators, over 100 airplanes: PA28, PA44, PA34, C172 glass cockpit, Extra and a citation CJ2.

pass rate is 80% not 70% like the FAA requires you.

the part 62 ck airman at FSA was a former Air force one pilot.

ground instructors are all ATP CFI, IGI, AGI and have more then 20K hours flying from the Vietnam to 747s all over the world.

In order to have the certification they have they have to keep a 80% pass rate on the first attempt of a ck ride, this means that the training has to be of the highest level. FSA is also ISO 9001.

Not to mention Flight Safety Academy is part of Flight Safety international.

FlightSafety International is the world’s premier professional aviation training company and supplier of flight simulators, visual systems and displays to commercial, government and military organizations. The company provides more than a million hours of training each year to pilots, technicians and other aviation professionals from 154 countries and independent territories.
