Jet Transition Program

The Jet Transition Course is designed to help single-seat pilots gain the crew resource management skills needed to fly in a commuter or airline atmosphere.

Course overview

During the Jet Transition Program, you will examine the differences between a small aircraft and commercial jet flight management computers (FMC) and gain experience in jet airplane operations, communications and checklists.

Completion of the course will enable you to excel in your next airline training course. Learn the basics from us and transition to your next position with confidence. As a graduate of the Bell Murray Aerospace (BMA) Jet Transition course, you will have the opportunity to meet an airline recruiter from one of BMA’s training partners.

All training is conducted by certificate holder 6AEX AeroElite.
