Cessna's China Contract

Sunday, August 28, 2005

Cessna Aircraft has signed an agreement to deliver 42 172 Skyhawks for ab initio training with the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC).  Twenty of the aircraft will be equipped with the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit.  Delivery is scheduled to begin in 2006.  This will increase CAFUC's training capacity from 600 to 1,000 students a year.  The growth of China's aviation industry has stimulated the need for more pilots, and the increasing demand for pilots exceeds China's training capacity. Like many countries throughout the world, China is experiencing a rapid and significant growth in commercial aviation, which it expects to continue.

CAFUC is government-owned and the country's largest flight training school.  It is currently responsible for training about 90% of the pilots produced in China.

In the two years I spent at Phoenix East Aviation, I had the chance to meet an incredible number of dedicated professionals, who literally went out of their way to assure some of the best initial training one can get. The instructors I had -- and later on the students I taught myself -- have since all  had successful aviation careers throughout the world. My experience training pilots from different backgrounds, and my actual line flying on the Saab 340, Saab 2000 and B-737 brought me to the conclusion that initial training quality is greatly important for being able to perform in the demanding environment of airline flying. It is precisely for that quality of training and for the airline-oriented approach that I warmly recommend Phoenix East Aviation as an excellent coice for people choosing to have an airline career later on.
