Phenom 300 Mentoring Program
$2,000 per day plus expenses
Make your transition from the training environment into the real world of flying across the U.S. or abroad safe, enjoyable, and informative. We can mentor you until you (or your insurance provider) feels comfortable. Most pilots take between one (1) to seven (7) days to feel confident in single pilot operations.
Norton Aviation’s mentor pilots have been flying their entire lives and can teach you the professional’s tricks of the trade with skills like flight planning, fuel planning, weather avoidance, long range procedures, FBO procedures, international procedures (if desired), RVSM operations, short field operations, and busy Class B airspace arrivals and departures.
We have found time and time again that at first some pilots are reluctant to believe the benefits of mentoring, but once accomplished, they are so glad they did and end up continuing a collaborative relationship with their mentor pilot. Our mentor pilots are a great resource and just a phone call away to answer questions or just to tell a good story to a fellow aviator even years after you earn your type rating.
Phenom 300 Annual Recurrent Training Program & 61.58 FAA Check Ride
At-Home Study Program for Phenom 300
Accepted by most insurance underwriters, this two-day course refreshes all the maneuvers you learned in your initial training and more, but don’t get to practice in your real-world flying. You will get a chance to exercise all the systems you don’t usually use in normal flight and all on your schedule and location.
Our program will not only bring you up to date on your systems knowledge and instrument skills, but you will learn more about the Phenom 300 than you were ever taught in your initial type rating training. By building on what you already know, we will dive in deeper to how the Phenom 300 operates.
Although the program reviews most of the maneuvers you rarely do in normal flying, there is plenty of room to tailor the training to your specific needs and desires. We will give you the training you want most from short field practice to busy airspace to better using your iPad and panel equipment in flight.
The training is performed at any location you desire and on your schedule. Depending on the base location of the instructor, this may incur a travel day or two at $1100 per day. You will find the learning atmosphere is very relaxed and includes the annual FAR 61.58 FAA check. Besides meeting the recurrent training and FAR 61.58 Pilot Proficiency Check requirements, our instructor, who is also an on-staff Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) or Pilot Proficiency Examiner (PPE), will be able to endorse you for an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) if desired.
Phenom 300 Additional Training Days
$1,700 per day
Some pilots from high experience to low may need additional training days in order to demonstrate the skills necessary to pass the FAA check ride. We have found that there is no direct relationship between a pilot’s total hour experience and additional training needed. It really varies by the quality and consistency of flying the pilot has experienced and types of aircraft flown. Practically speaking, your instructor must observe you demonstrate the ability to pass your checkride before you are recommended to take your FAA type rating practical test.
Norton Aviation instructors realize that this situation places a lot of trust and fiscal responsibility upon the recommendation for the check ride and we strive to accomplish this in the minimum amount of time and at the lowest cost to the pilot. Our priority is for each pilot we send for a check ride to pass the first time with confidence.
Training programs specifically designed to be as efficient & comfortable as possible
Norton Aviation’s training programs are specifically designed to accomplish the training on your schedule and at your location so you don’t have to spend long amounts of time away from family and/or business. We will work with you to make your training schedule as efficient and comfortable as possible with days off when needed. However, if you require additional days off that were not scheduled, there will be a modest fee of $1100 per day to cover the instructor’s down day pay. Any down days due to weather or unscheduled aircraft maintenance will normally become opportunities for a day off or ground training such as practice orals or brushing up on any weak knowledge areas. Also, training at your location may require dedicated travel days for the instructor depending on the commercial flight schedules. Any travel day that is not in conjunction with a training day will be charged $1100 per travel day.
Budgeting for Instructor Expenses
Norton Aviation realizes that training in the aircraft can get very expensive and we will try to reduce costs to the customer as much as possible. One way we can do this is by keeping our expenses to a minimum. We use the lowest airfares, hotels, and rental cars available and we will accept any suggestions from our customers to reduce costs.
Below is a rough estimate from our experience as to the range of instructor expenses. Realize that these costs can vary widely depending on location of training.
Air Transportation:
$600 to $800 Round trip
Ground Transportation (Rental Car):
$30 to $50 per day
Lodging:
$90 to $150 per night
Meals:
$25 to $45 per day
For a two day recurrent the total expenses would average – $1,200
For the minimum 7 day Type Rating training program the average total expenses – $2,500
INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT FERRYING, FLYING, AND TRAINING

Norton Aviation’s pilots and instructors have a broad experience in international operations to include ferrying General Aviation aircraft over the oceans and operating in all kinds of foreign airspace. Our pilots have flown in places like South America, North America, North Atlantic, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, and Russia.
We can either mentor you or your pilot on a trip or deliver your airplane to your hangar anywhere in the world. We can make your trip a pleasant and rewarding experience rather than a challenge in learning all the ins and outs and challenges to international flying.
Please call us for more details on your specific needs and let us quote you a price that fits your budget.
CAN YOUR COMPANION LAND THE JET IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE PILOT?
$1,950 – In conjunction with another training event
$2,500 – Stand-Alone Training
The companion course is approximately 3/4 to a full day and is designed to give your jet companion or passenger the confidence and peace of mind. The course consists of approximately 1-2 hours of classroom instruction followed by 45 minutes of cockpit familiarization. The course includes a 30 to 45 minute flight where the companion will use a detailed checklist (that you keep in the aircraft) to contact ATC and program the autopilot to fly an ILS to a landing.
We recommend this course be accomplished in conjunction with the pilot’s training (initial or recurrent) to minimize the cost of the instructor and expenses, but we can schedule it as a separate event if desired.
