Ace Expands in to in Ternational Pilot Training:

The ACE (Aviation Computer Education) system of pilot theory training (refer p116 Nov 89 AA) is expanding into commercial pilot training.

Israel’s Lavi fighter is back in the air again configured as a technology demonstrator to develop advanced avionics and systems that may ultimately find their way on the future /OF F-4, Kfir, F-15 and F-16 upgrades.

Airtex Aviation’s ACE system has now branched out to develop an International Pilot Training Course (IPTC) which will also have the benefit of using any of the established ACE schools Australia wide. The 52 week course graduates its students with a full Australian CPL or to whatever specific equivalent standard that an overseas airline might requrre. The Flyrng component of the course includes a minimum of 250 hours including command training on a Beech King Air and a second class jet endorsement on a Citation 2.
