Finding qualified, experienced pilots is next to impossible

Factory Pilots Plus, Inc. is proud to have a list of Former Factory pilots, and experienced non factory pilots who are willing to do contract pilot services in a variety of aircraft.

What makes an ex-factory pilot different? Credentials and Experience, including exposure to the "Inside" of the manufacturer.

All of our ex-Factory pilots have:
attended initial and/or recurrent training at FlightSafety International, Simuflite or Bombardier's Training Center.
Were among the very first typed in the "New" Aircraft.  Factory Pilots learned the airplanes from the Experimental Flight Test Pilots.

Many of our Captains have extensive International experience, and multiple North Atlantic and Pacific crossings.
All of our ex-Factory Captains are also Certified Flight Instructors
All of our ex-Factory pilots have new and used aircraft Demonstration experience

 
 
 
 

Factory Pilots Plus pilots have performed aircraft deliveries for the manufacturer.
Let us use that knowlege and our contacts to make your delivery as smooth as is possible--and more importantly, make sure your airplane is "right". Note: We also have contract mechanics with extensive delivery experience for consultation.

Got a new airplane, a new type rating, and no experience?
Experience.  It's the key word.  We're not talking about just racking up hours in an airplane.  We're talking about understanding the airplane, knowing what's "normal",  and knowing how to make it perform at it's optimum levels.  Let us share operational techniques and tips with you.

Wondering if this is "normal" in your airplane?  or should you call for service?
Operational/ Transition training from someone who really knows the airplane is considered so important that most manufacturers offer a new aircraft operator the services of a factory pilot for a period of time from delivery to a month or more after delivery.  During this time, the factory pilot shares the tips and tricks of flying the airplane on a day to day basis--something that the major training facilities do not have the time to do during type training.  Manufacturers call this "customer support" after the delivery.
