OVERVIEW (BPT Ground Training, only - no Flying)
The Bonanza/Baron Pilot Training, Inc (BPT) is an industry leading type-specific pilot training program for owners of Beechcraft Bonanzas, Debonairs, Barons, Travelairs, Dukes, and other high performance Beechcraft airplanes. BPT offers the most comprehensive, practical, effective and enjoyable model-specific flight training available. Unlike other training programs, the BPT curriculum involves the pilot in a full immersion weekend training clinic offering ground and flight instruction in your own aircraft. The live, in person BPT ground school on Friday covers Beechcraft-specific systems, basic techniques & procedures training for pilots who may be new to their aircraft as well as recurrent ground/flight training for more seasoned pilots in all models of Beechcraft Bonanza, Debonair, Baron, Travelair, Duke, and other high performance Beechcraft airplanes. Ground training topics provide review of safety, regulatory and scenario-based presentations on such topics as Weather in the cockpit, emergency procedures, IFR procedures, multi-engine topics, glass cockpit tips & techniques, and many more.
There is a concurrent Companion Training Program which is designed specifically for non-pilot companions, including spouses, other family members or friends. Completing this course will offer a greater understanding of the details encountered on every flight helping a companion to become more comfortable in the airplane and increasing their enjoyment of flight. Additionally, a Companion may also enroll in a flight option where they will handle the controls of their own airplane with an experienced BPT CFI right alongside showing them a few key things helpful in an emergency and tips for landing.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of BPT are to have fun while improving:
* Operational safety
* Knowledge of the airplane
* Confidence and enjoyment in the operation of the airplane
Pilots successfully completing the ground school and flight training will earn Knowledge credits for the FAA's WINGS Basic, Advanced, and Master WINGS levels.
