Pilot Study Tips

FAA Industry Training Standards: My program is the only Malibu – Mirage – Meridian training program which is FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) approved

FAA Wings Program: My program is FAA Wings approved and can qualify you for your next FAA Wings award

MMEL for the Meridian is located here: The FAA’s Master Minimum Equipment List for the PA46-500T may be useful to develop your own MEL specifically for your aircraft since turbine powered aircraft must otherwise have all systems operational to legally take off (91.213(d)). There are no exceptions to this regulation. Developing an MEL is a good idea to increase the utility of your aircraft. Please contact me if you have questions or need assistance.

National Association of Flight Instructors: I am a member of NAFI and a designated Master Certified Flight Instructor (MCFI)

NASA Icing short course

Pratt-Whitney - PT6 Pilot Familiarization Course: An excellent program for PT6 Pilots. Here is the Training Guide from the program.
