Velocity Service Center
Flight Training
To prepare builders and new owners to fly in a high performance airplane like the Velocity, the Velocity Service Center offers transitional flight training. Since many builders have experience in single engine certified airplanes, and many have spent little time flying while building their Velocity, this training is critical. The Service Center has several CFI's on staff. To qualify for flight training, private pilots must have a current biannual sign-off, must
have flown 10 hours in the last 3 months (preferably in a high performance aircraft), and must have a complex endorsement sign-off unless their plane is fixed gear with a fixed pitch propeller... all documented in a log book
Pre-requisites Prior to showing up for transition training include:
(bring logbook for verification)
-
Velocity owners or designated pilots only
-
Realistic estimate of flight ready owner built aircraft within 45 days
-
Minimum of a Private Pilots license with current medical and current bi-annual
-
10 hours minimum flight experience within past 30 days. If transitioning to the V-Twin 3 hours must have been in a multi engine aircraft.
-
High performance endorsement if transition training is for all XL series and Standard Velocity Retract Gear. High performance endorsement not necessary for Standard Fixed Gear or SUV
-
No flight training in customer aircraft under this program
