Introduction

Training for

PA46 - 310 Malibu PA46 – 350 Mirage PA46 – 500T Meridian

Ø I am able to help you attain your aviation goals by providing the right mix of specific training elements and by giving you the repetition you need to master the skills.

Ø It is proven that specificity training creates the best environment for learning. If you train in your own aircraft you will learn faster and retain skills longer.

Ø I will modify my highly successful methods to meet your specific requirements and you will train at the location of your choosing.

Thank you for your interest in this training program for pilots of the Piper Malibu PA46-310, Piper Mirage PA46-350 and Piper Meridian PA46-500T aircraft. Effective pilot training is difficult to find. Instructor turnover is high and many instructors have limited experience with these technically advanced aircraft and the learning challenges associated with training owner operators.

Dick Rochfort is a full-time pilot instructor working exclusively in the Piper Malibu, Mirage and Meridian aircraft (PA46). He conducts 60 to 80 insurance-approved initial and recurrent programs per year all over the US and Canada specifically in the Malibu, Mirage and Meridian aircraft. He is a member of the Malibu/Mirage Safety and Training Foundation teaching staff and an FAA Aviation Safety Counselor for the Baltimore Flight Standards District Office. He is designated by The National Association of Flight Instructors as a Master Certified Flight Instructor.

Dick has been teaching pilots of all skill levels for over 18 years with no accidents. His educational background includes clinical psychology and human factors engineering which gives him additional insight into the learning process for owner pilots who tend to learn differently than professional pilots.

Here is what Dr. William Brody, President of The Johns Hopkins University has to say about Dick Rochfort:

“I began with Dick when I purchased a Mirage transitioning up from a Cessna 182. I was required to fly 250 hours with him, so I probably have more experience than others. After moving up to a Meridian I flew again with Dick for another 25+ hours or so. I emphatically endorse all the good things that were said about Dick. He is extremely knowledgeable about airplanes, avionics, regulations, etc, but what sets him apart is his ability to impart savvy advice about handling complicated practical situations, challenging weather, difficult ATC personnel, emergencies, etc. His sensible, no-nonsense approaches have proved invaluable to me and I feel fortunate to have been able to train with him. Dick is also highly professional - on time, organized and prepared. He is absolutely first class..”

This Malibu – Mirage – Meridian training program is very effective and it has a perfect safety record. It is FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) approved and FAA Wings approved and it is available only from Dick Rochfort. Professional sports trainers and the military both believe that specificity training is the most effective way to learn complex. Whatever your current level of experience may be, he would like the opportunity to bring you to the next level of skill, safety and comfort.

Pilot training in the PA46 aircraft requires an emphasis on Scenario Based Training that will develop essential risk management skills, decision-making skills, and other higher-order thinking skills that are crucial in helping to reduce the general aviation accident rate. Because owner operators learn most effectively in their own aircraft, Dick will use a 28V DC power supply to convert the aircraft into a ground based Cockpit Procedures Trainer so that effective learning of normal and emergency procedures can take place safely and without distraction.
