TBM Flight Training



The baseline course consists of online theory training and 10 hours flight training. We can deliver standalone EASA or FAA courses, or integrate both so you get dual qualified.

Pre-Entry Requirements

​ ​
​ ​To start your training with us, you have to : ​
    ​ ​
  • Hold at least an EASA, FAA or ICAO PPL(A)
  • Have at least 200 hours total pilot experience (minimum 70 hours PIC for the EASA course)
  • EASA course only :
    - Hold the High Performance Aeroplane Knowledge Course or
    - Have passed the EASA ATPL(A) examinations; or
    - Hold an ICAO ATPL(A) or CPL(A)/IR with theoretical knowledge credit for ATPL(A) ​
​ ​

Credits For Previous Experience


​ ​The approved course of training may be modified to account for previous experience on similar aircraft types (any other aircraft classed as a ​Single Pilot High Performance Aeroplane [SP HPA] with one or more turboprop or turbojet engines).

Flight & Theoretical Knowledge Training


The TBM training syllabus contains a total of: ​
  • 16 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction
    (14 hrs of online self study & 2 hrs of instructor led wash-up);
  • Theoretical Knowledge Exam (100 questions, conducted in-house);
  • Minimum of 10 hours of flight training in the TBM; and
  • Licence Skill Test with an examiner in the TBM aircraft (EASA course only)

Timescale


The training takes approximately 5 days to complete including briefings and test preparation.
The first two days are completed via our online learning management system which means you can complete the majority of your theoretical knowledge training at home.
When you arrive for your flight training we will first complete a 3 hour brush up session which will include the theoretical knowledge exam prior to starting your flight training. ​

ICAO Conversions


If you are a current TBM pilot operating on the basis of an ICAO licence (e.g. FAA), we can assist you in gaining an EASA licence and TBM SET Class Rating.
The training package for an ICAO conversion includes all of the mandatory training items conducted in the full course. There is no minimum flight training requirements, however, most candidates complete approximately 4 hours flight training prior to completing the Class Rating Skill Test with an examiner.
The course takes approximately 2 full days to complete.

Differences Training


​We can deliver differences training between all models of the TBM.

 






  Orbifly has developed a partnership with Oysterair, a UK-based ATO, and has become an Oysterair secondary base for High Performance courses and trainings.
Oysterair has a sharp experience in advanced turbine trainings, and we are happy to share this experience with our customers.

Trainings can take place on the Orbifly homebase, or on an Oysterair base in the UK.

Note : EASA SET TBM trainings are currently given by the Oysterair's team.
