Business aviation training has traditionally followed the path of OEM preference: when a company purchases a new aircraft from the manufacturer, the package often includes initial training for the first couple of pilots and maintenance technicians. If the training provider does an acceptable job, they may sign the client to a long-term training agreement, effectively shutting the competition out of recurrent training on that aircraft for multiple years.
