EVERY YEAR THE PRO-PILOT AIRLINE PROGRAMME GETS BETTER

COVID-19 – HOW IT AFFECTS TRAINING WITH 2FLY IN FLORIDA

PRO-PILOT AIRLINE PROGRAMME – PHASE ONE – MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA

Thursday 3rd April 2020, the Governor of the region announced a 30-day stay at home order.  16 critical business are designated as essential. To quote the decree:

“…the aviation mode includes commercial and recreational aircraft (manned and unmanned) and a wide-variety of support services, such as aircraft repair stations, fuelling facilities, navigation aids, and flight schools.”

2FLY will continue to operate . The Stay at Home mandate allows supermarkets, clinics, banks, pharmacies and other daily necessities to remain open. All students are required to remain in their homes, unless scheduled for a training event.

There are a range of rules in place to keep students and instructors safe and they will be informed accordingly.

In short, subject to some limitations, Pro-Pilot students can thankfully continue their Phase One training for the foreseeable future.

No change – business as usual.
