WHY TRAIN WITH US….?
The recently installed new Beechcraft King Air 350i simulator which has received CASA Part 141 and 142 approval after months of hard work. This device was purchased and provided by Ansett Aviation Training, the world’s largest privately owned simulator service provider. As a result, Flight Options will have the capability to provide instructors to service the individual requirements of the numerous King Air operators in Australia, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Qld Section). This will considerably reduce costs for aircraft owners and operators, as to date the only option available was expensive time consuming travel to the USA or Europe for training.
Flight Options’ airside location, the close availability of airline services to most parts of Australia, excellent hotels and other accommodation nearby, all mean cost effective outcomes for Flight Options customers.
Flight Options aims to be engaged on a personal level with its customers employing seasoned professionals to ensure that the highest standards are maintained. Supporting this philosophy is aviation veteran Steve Padgett, whose passion for aviation is well known and has always emphasised the value of quality people and first class service. Mr Padgett said, “I have always had the desire to create a world class simulator and training centre. We have in Flight Options, a group of people who have the drive and ability to carry that through.”
