Gary and Charles are very knowledgable and were able to explain the B200 in its entirety, so it was well understood. Both were very helpful in my learning experience. Thanks also goes out to Jim for helping me prepare for the class.

Just completed my initial training in a B200 King Air at AST in Georgetown, Texas. With over 30 years of multiple type ratings and countless recurrent under my belt I have to say that the level of professionalism knowledge and materials supplied by AST are second to none. Gary and Jim bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table that solidify the training experience. In addition to the FAA approved flight sim withe G1000 avionics suite, this made for a smooth transition into our newly acquired B200 with the NXI. Jim and Gary also have great connections with several avionics and maintenance facilities on the field to answer any and all technical questions that could arise or for demonstration purposes to see first-hand where and how these systems operate. Highly recommend AST and look forward to seeing them again next year.

Completed my B-200 Recurrent Training with Aircraft Simulator Training at KGTU yesterday with instructors Gary Lash and Jim Minton. Best training I have ever received in the King Air! The new full motion (6 degree) sim with G1000’s was awesome. Highly Recommended! I will be back to them annually for sure. A bonus was eating at Lupe Tortilla in Georgetown. Wow….best fajitas I have ever had.
Taking it to Airline Standards
Pilots who fly twins need to be at airline standards. Being at airline standards requires that you are able to do everything in the cockpit, not outside. You cannot handle an emergency procedure correctly by working in the cockpit and then outside the cockpit. It will distract you and defeat the purpose, that being stabilizing the aircraft and controlling the problem.
Our training Programs are tailored to meet your needs
At AST, we understand that each pilot brings a unique set of experiences and knowledge to the training process. Our training program are designed to be flexible and builds on your prior experiences and results in the knowledge and confidence to handle any abnormal or emergency situations that may arise.
