GET THE COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE JOB MARKET

The Genesis program starts you from the very first flight using the advanced equipment found on today’s airlines. Our Diamond DA40’s are modern all composite airframes with glass cockpits that are designed for the 21st century. We believe our commercial pilot students need to fly the same technology used by the airlines they will be working for.

The consistency of the G1000 flight deck from single engine to multi-engine and simulator allow you to graduate with expert-level proficiency using advanced flight managements systems.

WHAT IS A GLASS COCKPIT?

G1000_320x240

With rectangular computer displays replacing the familiar round flight instruments, and data presentation that differs considerably from the analog format, it’s no surprise that new airline crews feel lost, even uncomfortable, flying glass. This issue has been identified as a major weakness in the current flight training industry.

WHAT’S NEW ABOUT GLASS?

Other than the information they portray, pretty much everything is new: how they work, what drives them, how they share software and display failure modes, and, most significantly, how they actually look.

WHY IS GENESIS BETTER?

Genesis has completely embraced glass training. 100% of our fleet is glass, incorporating one of the most advanced electronic flight information systems (EFIS) available. Students get exposure to these systems starting on the first flight, and learn deeper functions in each training module.
