Article
Embarking on a career in business aviation? Understanding the distinct training requirements compared to commercial aviation is crucial.
It's important to note that the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) don’t mandate a flight attendant on aircraft with fewer than 20 seats. However, having comprehensive training is beneficial regardless of regulations, ensuring the cabin area is managed effectively.
Numerous programs claim to train business flight attendants, but their quality varies significantly. Remember the principle of "caveat emptor" ?" let the buyer beware. Don't be swayed by low prices alone. Verify whether the training will truly prepare you for employment, if it's recognized by hiring companies, and if it meets FAA standards. These factors are essential to evaluate during your research.
While commercial airline training can last up to six weeks, business aviation training typically spans just 5 or 6 days. These intensive programs should cover essential areas such as food handling and service, emergency procedures, inflight medical training, and defibrillator/AED use. Classes might also address decompression, hazardous materials handling, firefighting, passenger briefings, and ditching procedures. Some programs may include additional topics like makeup consultations, food and wine pairing, and résumé writing. When choosing a program, focus on how much time is dedicated to core skills versus supplementary topics.
Recommending specific programs can be challenging since training isn't legally required, resulting in diverse curricula. When evaluating providers, be prepared to ask detailed questions, explore their websites, and review their materials to make an informed choice. Two of the most established and respected programs are offered by FlightSafety International and FACTS/AirCare, favored by most charter and private operators. Alteon Training, LLC, a Boeing affiliate, began cabin attendant training in 2003, while Beyond and Above Corporate Flight Attendant Training started in 2002.
Invest wisely in your training to ensure a successful entry into the dynamic world of business aviation.
