Blackhawk Modifications of Waco, Texas has named Executive Flight Training of Beaufort, South Carolina as an authorized pilot training center for all twin-engine aircraft models for which Blackhawk provides higher performance and new PT6A engine upgrades. Executive Flight Training will be able to teach pilots how to get the most from their new PT6A engine upgrades with instruction specifically oriented towards the proper operation of all Blackhawk upgraded aircraft. Instruction will be available for Blackhawk upgraded King Air 90, King Air 200, Piper Cheyenne and Cessna Conquest I aircraft models.
Blackhawk’s Senior VP of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support, Bob Kromer, said,
“We currently have over 500 customers operating Blackhawk upgraded aircraft. The new PT6A engines we provide our customers give them the capability to extract more horsepower at climb and cruise altitudes, resulting in superior single and multi-engine climb performance, higher available cruise speeds and capability to routinely cruise at higher, more fuel-efficient altitudes. We are pleased that Executive Flight Training will be demonstrating techniques to show our customers how to best operate their aircraft to realize these performance increases and improved efficiencies. Add to that the fact Executive’s flight training is “insurance approved” means most of our customers will also be able to fulfill any recurrent or initial training requirements to keep themselves proficient and their passengers safe.”
Executive Flight Training’s Owner, Doug Carmody, stated,
“We’ve been training King Air, Cheyenne and Conquest I pilots for 23 years now. We know these airplanes very well and have seen the advantages that new, more capable PT6A engines provided by Blackhawk make available. We’ll now be teaching pilots of these Blackhawk upgraded models how to operate their engines and airplanes to get the most from their upgrades. I know they will be thrilled with the knowledge and resulting performance increases they will enjoy. Plus, we are confident they will be getting some of the best overall instruction possible for increased confidence, proficiency and safety.”
