The Flight Safety Bridge Program

[rausda27]

I don't want to get involved in the whole PFT thing, but I am an instructor at FSI for the ASA program. I have personally been involved with 10 candidates all of which have made it to a class at ASA. Since starting with the program last May, I cannot think of a single person who received a COE from ASA that didnt make it though the training at FlightSafety and get a class date upon completion. There are many people who don't make it though the initial phases which are offered to candidates that did not complete their initial training at FlightSafety. These two phases are short evaluation type lessons which occur prior to interviewing with ASA and are relatively cheap. They are not much more than a BFR/IPC in both the single and multiengine aircraft. If the clients instrument skills are not up to a certain skill level, they don't get an interview, save the cost and leave FSI having been giving some pretty good instrument instruction. If you have any specific questions about the program, please dont hesitate to ask or PM me. I would be interested to know who you have been talking to at FSI, your experience doesnt seem the norm for our marketing folks, normally their are completly upfront and honest about these programs.
