UK Pilatus Aircraft service center and PC-12 sales distributor Oriens Aviation is expanding the offerings at its London Biggin Hill headquarters to include pilot training for the turboprop single, starting in January. Oriens has partnered with approved training organization Oysterair to provide high-performance airplane training courses for EASA- and FAA-class ratings. The EASA PC-12 rating course caters to a wide range of experience, ranging from PPL (A) with instrument rating and a minimum 200 flight hours to the most experienced pilots.
“We know that a big obstacle for Pilatus PC-12 operations in the UK is the lack of pilots,” said Oriens founder and CEO Edwin Brenninkmeyer, adding that with the PC-12 classified as a single-pilot, high-performance airplane, traditional flight schools in the UK are lacking such expertise. “This is why we are pleased to team with Oysterair and its experienced pilot instructors.”
