As Beta Technologies prepares to begin delivering electric aircraft to its first commercial customers, it is putting the finishing touches on its initial pilot training program for Part 135 operators. The Vermont-based company reported this week that it completed a comprehensive review of its Alia pilot training program with a customer for the first time. 

Beta walked its launch customer United Therapeutics through the pilot training syllabus for the five-passenger Alia CX300 aircraft, which it aims to start delivering in 2025 pending FAA type certification.
