Two large pilot-training providers are gearing up for the emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) market.

FlightSafety International (FSI) plans to “develop eVTOL-specific pilot and maintenance training programs utilizing our experience of over 70 years in the training business,” said Kelly Reich, FSI senior v-p strategic operations. “We will leverage our existing training philosophy and focus on the unique equipment and operational needs of these new aircraft. We currently have various team members working with multiple agencies providing input on what regulatory changes should occur” and are helping “to identify the appropriate training needs, which drives the overall training curriculum,” Reich said.
