Revision: 12 Page B-3 Date: May 2015 Part 135 Training Program – Appendix B Cessna Caravan 208 Series GENERAL INFORMATION TYPE OF AIRCRAFT: Training program is for Cessna Caravan 208 Series Aircraft. This curriculum is the approved course of training which when conducted in accordance with the pilot training requirements of 14 CFR Part 135 leads to a competency check and/or proficiency check. This curriculum is based on the Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards, Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards, Airline Transport Pilot and Type Rating Practical Test Standards. All flight training will be conducted in an aircraft. CURRICULUM PREREQUISITES The curriculum is designed to accommodate pilots who are to be trained as defined in Part 135 as requiring “Initial Training” or “Transition Training”. Westwind Aviation, Inc. will insure that each PIC meets the prerequisites for employment, using requirements established by 14 CFR Part 135. FACILITIES LOCATION Westwind Aviation’s training facilities are located at the Deer Valley Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. CURRICULUM SEGMENT OBJECTIVE Upon completion of the program, the crewmembers will be able to successfully demonstrate their knowledge of aircraft systems by completing an oral/written examination. They will be able to fly the aircraft in a manner that shows they are obviously the master of the aircraft, with the outcome of each maneuver never in doubt. They will be able to safely operate the aircraft in assigned airspace. Depending upon the pilot’s background, the training will meet the following requirements. o 14 CFR Part 135 Certification Holder’s Approved Training Program o Initial Certification IAW 61.63 or 61.157 o Pilot Competency Check IAW 135.293 o Instrument Proficiency Check IAW 135.297 Westwind Aviation, Inc. Revision: 12 Page B-4 Date: May 2015 Part 135 Training Program – Appendix B Cessna Caravan 208 Series COMPLETION STANDARDS Completion is based on proficiency. Syllabus times are estimates. Pilots must demonstrate satisfactory performance through formal and informal examinations in the classroom and flight training device, and in flight to ensure they meet the knowledge and skill requirements necessary to meet the course objectives. The minimum acceptable performance guidelines are as follows: Each pilot shall fly the aircraft within the appropriate standard. Depending upon the type of operation, passenger seating, configuration within the aircraft, and/or pilot’s level of certification, the tolerances of the appropriate standard will be specified in one of the following publications as applicable: o Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards o Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards The instructor and/or check airman will determine the applicable standards prior to the start of any training or evaluation session. The required standards will be discussed with the pilot being trained. GROUND INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITIES Westwind Aviation, Inc. facilities are divided into briefing areas/rooms, classroom flight planning room, instructor room, and the required maintenance and administrative areas. The building is optimally “laid-out” and located so the pilots will not be distracted by instruction conducted in other rooms or by flight and maintenance operations at the airport. The classroom is equipped for presentation of audiovisual media. An overhead projector, video-television and whiteboard facilities are used to provide interactive display of photos and system graphics and any other applicable material. Westwind Aviation, Inc.

INITIAL GROUND TRAINING GROUND TRAINING TIMES: Initial IFR/VFR – 8 hours Initial Equipment IFR/VFR – 8 hours Transition IFR/VFR – 8 hours OBJECTIVE OF GROUND TRAINING To provide pilots with the necessary training to understand the operation of aircraft systems, the use of the individual system controls, and the integration of aircraft systems with operational procedures in order to sufficiently prepare them to enter the flight training curriculum segment. At the end of the ground training curriculum segment the pilot will be able to locate, identify, and operate all aircraft systems. The pilot will be able to perform normal, abnormal and emergency operating procedures. Additionally, the pilot will be able to demonstrate knowledge of aircraft performance, as well as systems and aircraft limitations. The pilot will be capable of satisfactorily completing the equipment examination at the end of this segment. COMPLETION STANDARDS Aircraft Systems – The pilot must demonstrate adequate knowledge of the aircraft systems, performance and flight planning by successfully completing a written/oral examination with a minimum score of 80%, which is corrected to 100%.
