Transition Training

A customized training plan, not a checkbox

Founder Fred Ahles puts it simply: "We consider flight training for the new owner the most important part of every transaction." After purchase, Premier works with you and our network of certified flight instructors and approved training partners to design a plan tailored to your experience and the aircraft you've bought.

Our process starts during the demonstration flight, where the sales team observes your flying and decision-making to identify the areas that should get the most emphasis during transition. That assessment is shared with your training partner so the syllabus is targeted from day one.

Insurance-approved instruction

Transition training is often a hard requirement for new-owner insurance. Aviation underwriters mandate specific experience levels and approved training providers to operate higher-performance aircraft, and may require ongoing mentoring after the initial course. Premier knows the underwriter requirements for the airframes we sell and lines up the right course on the front end.

Confidence on departure day

By the time the transaction closes, your personally-tailored training plan is already underway, so you depart with familiarity and confidence in the cockpit — not a stack of unfamiliar manuals.
