to topPilot Recurrent
Recurrent training should be more than a "square filler." Our recurrent courses bring real-world issues into the classroom and simulator. We'll sharpen your flying skills and keep you connected to the latest industry information related to your aircraft and operation.
Ab Initio
The Delta Connection Academy offers professional airline pilot training beginning with Ab Initio and continuing through airline type rating programs. Ab Initio training, conducted at facilities in Florida, builds the foundation for follow up courses at Delta Air Lines facilities in Atlanta, GA. Learn more.
In Command (Captains' Course)
There is a clear distinction between a type rated pilot and a captain. Our “In Command” course focuses on limits of authority, resources available to a captain and the skill sets necessary to perform successfully as a new captain. “In Command” engages the captain to develop a methodology for line operations. Ultimately, the goal is for each captain to develop a personal and professional philosophy leading to excellence in every aspect of their job.
Theatre of Operations Training
Let America's fastest growing international airline train you on the nuances of each operational theatre. Our North Atlantic Long Range Navigation course teaches you the procedures for operation in MNPS airspace and the NAT track system. Other theatre-specific courses include Pacific Operations, Latin/South American Ops, and Mountain Operations.
All Weather Operations
With thousands of daily flights to all over the world, operational reliability is critical to Delta's success. Low ceilings and visibility are a fact of life and cannot be permitted to bring the operation to a halt. Let us train your crew members in the technical and procedural aspects of category II and III approaches and low-visibility takeoffs.
Heads-Up Display (HUD)
Our Heads-Up Display, or HUD, training course has been recognized by industry leaders as one of the best in the business. The course takes the student through the basic systems that make up the HUD as well as the symbology incorporated within the HUD program. An interactive learning environment with immediate positive feedback is what makes the course successful.
