The Importance Of
Initial Pilot Training
It’s not just crucial for insurance; initial flight training is the gateway to becoming a safe and secure pilot. As technology advances and aircraft become more complex, safety is a common recurrence. That is why we train our flight instructors to deliver the best possible experience for our students.
At RTC Pilot, we offer a more personalized experience where you will work closely with your instructor during your classroom time — and you will be provided guidance on both familiar and unfamiliar scenarios in our flight simulators. Our instructors’ goal is to get you oriented and comfortable with the aircraft, whether you have experience in a similar environment or if the configuration is brand new to you.
Reasons a Pilot Should Receive
Initial Aircraft Training
There are multiple reasons why a pilot should receive initial aircraft training, including
- Insurance companies often require initial training. Many insurance companies will only take you on board if you take initial aircraft courses on the specific aircraft that you will be flying. Even if it is not required by your insurance company, it’s possible that completing initial aircraft training can at least bring down your insurance cost dramatically.
- Your flight department might require initial training to ensure you are adequate to fly their aircraft. Initial pilot training will provide reassurance to your employer, as well as yourself, on your capabilities to fly the particular aircraft they have in their fleet.
- Even if you do not plan on utilizing your flying expertise as a form of employment, and instead have purchased an aircraft, you’ll want to be 100% confident in your aircraft’s performance, limitations, and systems. In this case, initial training can be for your own peace of mind, safety, and personal development.
Our Initial Pilot

The Benefits Of
Initial Pilot Training Programs
Initial pilot training is essential for every pilot. Whether you’re interested in flying a single piston engine or a twin turbo prop engine aircraft, you’ll want to make sure you have the training, education, and experience necessary to fly safely, confidently, and remain in-compliance with your insurance and any employer requirements. Some of the many benefits of initial pilot training include:
Many insurance companies require a certain level of pilot training before providing coverage. Initial pilot training helps fulfill these requirements and keep you covered in a worst-case scenario.
If you are a pilot of an aircraft equipped with an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) navigation system, you must have recent experience in order to remain qualified. An initial pilot training program can help you meet these requirements.
Participating in an initial pilot training program is a great way to update your skills and knowledge and become a more confident and capable pilot. This training will help you master the fundamentals of flight and help you become a better and safer pilot.
An initial pilot training program can provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to respond effectively in the event of an emergency. Pilots will learn how to identify potential threats, how to respond, and how to remain calm in a stressful situation.
