Interesting product. All the discussion about training airline pilots makes me wonder if their value add is they can tune their fly by wire system to have the flight characteristics of a larger jet for familiarity with takeoffs and landings. That might make up for the relatively limited air time the plane can achieve (you don't need a lot of time for training flights per say). Turn around time would become an issue though in terms of how many you would need to sustain a full training day for a given number of students.
- bronco21016 8y agoThe majority of flight training in the beginning is learning the basic ‘stick and rudder’ flying skills. This is the basic characteristics and relationship of pitch, power, roll, and yaw. Those basic skills and relationships help a pilot learn how to get out of unfortunate situations. Training in an aircraft artificially more similar to an airliner would not be productive as they tend not to be as forgiving when pushing the envelope.
