Aerocor, the provider of Eclipse 500 pilot training based in Henderson, Nevada, has hired a new flight instructor, Dennis Pearson, to help meet the increasing demand for Eclipse 500 training.

“With a background as a military pilot, FAA safety Inspector, professor of Aviation at William Jessup University, and co-founder of Mach 5 Aviation Flight School, Dennis brings a wealth of valuable experience to our training programme,” states Jens Personius, manager of Aerocor's Eclipse training programme. Over the last several years, Aerocor has experienced a strong increase in demand for its training services, which has encouraged the company to continue the growth of training capacity.

“Many pilots seeking initial type ratings in the Eclipse 500 are either first time jet owners or highly experienced professional pilots looking to fly for charter operations. The contrast in student experience levels requires our instructors to be highly adaptable in order to effectively accommodate each individual student's training needs,” notes Personius. “This is why we are so excited to welcome an instructor of Dennis Pearson's calibre to our team.”

The expansion of Aerocor's training department signals the company's continued commitment to supporting pilots in the Eclipse community.
