CRJ Bridge Program
A lot has changed in aviation in the last decade. When “commuter” airlines required upwards of 1500 hours total flight time to secure an interview, modern regional airlines will interview and hire pilots with as low as 400 hours total flight time. While the hour requirements have significantly been lowered, the expectations are even higher.
A new hire at a commuter airline 10 years ago had the experience that came along with 1500 flight hours. Today’s new hire must step into a highly advanced, fast-paced, “all glass” jet cockpit. While we can’t instill that experience, we can significantly enhance the skill set that a modern, low time pilot acquires before applying to a regional airline.
Career Pilot School offers Regional Jet Training through our CRJ Bridge Program. This program introduces pilots to the advanced aerodynamics of swept wing jet aircraft, a thorough introduction to the complex systems, and the fundamentals of Flight Management Systems (FMS) and Engine Indication and Crew Alerting Systems (EICAS). Modern principles of Crew Resource Management (CRM) are also covered.
The CRJ Bridge course is a full immersion, 3- week course that focuses on preparing students for airline type flying on a regional jet platform. Price for the CRJ course is $9500.00. Included in the course are:
- 40 hours of CRJ AATD
- Jet Propulsion
- Jet Aerodynamics
- Introduction to Turbine Engines
- CRJ Systems
- Introduction to Glass Cockpit
- Collins Pro Line 6-tube EFIS
- Flight Management Systems (FMS)
- Crew Resource Management (CRM)
- Part 121 FARs
- Interview Preparation
- 3 Weeks of Housing
- Sales Tax
While this course is conducted around a CRJ Regional Jet Trainer, the course is taught in a way that allows lateral transfer to any CRJ/ ERJ platform, as well as a turboprop environment. Course material is outlined in a way that is not company specific to any one air carrier, but rather, is focused around standard airline operating procedures.
