Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services is concerned that our insureds are receiving the highest quality flight and ground instruction possible.  To this end, we strive to ensure that each pilot receives the best possible training.  

For turbine powered aircraft, simulator based training is preferred over all other forms.  Such schools will be used for available make and models for initial and routine recurrent training. 

Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services, Inc. realizes that simply possessing a simulator for the make and model desired is not an end-all solution.  Many outstanding instructors consistently demonstrate the highest standards of training.  Though they may work independently or are part of a school that provides training that is acceptable, with minimal risk to the aircraft or the pilot in training, without a flight simulator. 

Each underwriter has the latitude to select other schools if the school is listed as accepted for the make and model in question. 

Schools interested in seeking Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services, Inc. acceptance as a flight and ground-training opportunity must withstand rigorous scrutiny.  A school interested in attaining acceptance must conform to the following process:

• Submit a complete syllabus for each aircraft make and model. The syllabus will conform to one of three accepted standards of content.
  

1. In the format used by Part 141 Pilot Schools
2. In the format of a Part 142 Training Center
3. In the format of the FAA’s FITS program

• A school or individual trainer does not need to be accepted or certified by the FAA, but the format must contain all elements of the form selected.
• Submit a copy of the Flight Instructor Information Form for each instructor involved with each course submitted. You may download the form here.
• Send all correspondence and documents in electronic form to aviationsafety@chartisinsurance.com
• When we have all the required documents, a date is set for the syllabus review board to review the provided documents and make a determination of suitability.  The board meets on alternate Mondays and reviews three schools during each meeting.

1. Schools accepted will receive a letter announcing the acceptance by make and model.  You will receive one letter for each make and model submitted.
2. The letter and acceptance are valid for a period of 24 months.  To renew, submit the current syllabus and updated instructor information forms to repeat the process.
3. Accepted schools and courses are provided to underwriting by way of a searchable database.  This provides timely and accurate information to underwriting.  The information includes the name of the school, the date of acceptance, and when acceptance expires.

• You may obtain more information or consult with the program administrator by calling (214) 758-8410 or send an email to aviationsafety@chartisinsurance.com
