Course Descriptions
The document describes two main training courses for the Piper PA-31 Navajo: Initial Training and Recurrent Training. The Initial Training course spans 4 days with 16 hours of ground school and 8 hours of simulator training, focusing on a comprehensive overview of aircraft systems and procedures. The Recurrent Training course lasts 2 days with 8 hours of ground school and 4 hours of simulator training, allowing pilots to practice normal and emergency procedures through scenario-based training.
Ground School
Ground school includes General Operational Subjects (GOS) covering weight and balance, planning, performance, and adverse weather. The Aircraft Systems (AC SYS) segment breaks down various aircraft systems, while Systems Integration Training (SIT) emphasizes the interrelationships of these systems, including normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures.
Simulator Training
Simulator training involves briefing and debriefing for each flight module. Briefings cover weather, performance calculations, maneuvers, and instructor feedback. Simulator modules include Aircraft Orientation, Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency Procedures, allowing pilots to practice maneuvers with and without automatic flight control systems.
Prerequisites
For Initial Training, trainees must hold at least a Private Pilot Certificate with a Multi-Engine Land and Instrument Rating. For Recurrent Training, trainees must have completed a formal initial course or logged 100 hours in the specific model of the Navajo series aircraft.

Course Descriptions Initial Training SIMCOM’s Piper Navajo initial courses provide a comprehensive overview of aircraft systems, performance, and procedures. You will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and proficiency in normal and emergency procedures. The combination of our, high fidelity simulators, small class sizes and experienced instructors provides the ideal learning environment. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a flight review through the FAA Wings Program. For pilots that are instrument current, completion of the course fulfills the instrument experience requirements (FAR 61.57(c)(2). Recurrent Training SIMCOM’s Piper Navajo recurrent courses give you the opportunity to practice normal and emergency procedures using realistic scenario based training. You will also review aircraft systems, performance and procedures. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a flight review through the FAA Wings Program.

SIT/CPT: Systems Integration Training provides ground instruction that emphasizes the aircraft systems interrelationships. This training includes normal, abnormal and emergency AFM / AOM / checklist procedures, pilot flying (“PF”) / pilot monitoring (“PM”) duties and other elements of crew coordination, such as avionics / automation management specific to the aircraft. SIT will be conducted in a classroom and by using an appropriate training device. Simulator Training: BRIEF: Briefing / Debriefing is required for each flight training module. Elements of Briefing include the following: • Weather briefing • Performance, weight and balance calculations • Maneuvers and procedures • Performance standard • Any other areas the instructor finds applicable Elements of the Debriefing include the following: • Any highlighted areas of concern • Answering trainee questions • Preview of the subsequent lesson • Any other areas the instructor finds applicable SIM PF: Simulator training modules will consist of Aircraft Orientation, Normal, Abnormal and Emergency Procedures. This training provides instruction to develop the skills necessary to maneuver the aircraft with and without the automatic flight control systems. Selected abnormal and emergency procedures are introduced and practiced. The pilot will become proficient in the use of checklists, precision approaches, non-precision approaches and full integration of avionics systems Prerequisites Initial: • Entry Into Curriculum: Trainee must hold at least a Private Pilot Certificate with airplane Multi-Engine Land and Instrument Rating. Recurrent: • Trainee must have successfully completed a formal initial course or have logged 100 hours in the specific model of Navajo series aircraft.
