The BPPP Recurrent Course
The BPPP Recurrent Course
starts on Friday at 9 AM (class check-in starts around 8 AM)
and continues through 6:30 PM on Saturday,
for a total of two days for the majority of our Recurrent pilots. In that time you will participate in approximately 12 hours of ground school and 4 hours of flying in your aircraft.
Note that occasionally due to scheduling requirements, we will need a few Recurrent pilots to fly on Sunday morning from 8 AM to 1 PM. If you are willing to fly on Sunday please so indicate on your registration form. We will still schedule you to fly on Saturday in most cases. If you would prefer to fly on Sunday, let us know and we will almost certainly be able to accommodate you. Thank you.
Our Recurrent Course for returning BPPP attendees builds on the material presented in our Initial Course. The Recurrent Course was completely revamped in 2004, and was updated again in January 2007. If it's been awhile since you've attended a BPPP session, you're in for something new!
New Recurrent Course Features:
- Classes designed specifically for returning pilots (especially for those who participate in our Recurrent Course annually)
- Block of changing theme lectures
- Review of core material from the Initial Course
- Saturday lectures now in hotel classroom
The new recurrent curriculum presents a block of lectures centered on a theme. It also includes highlights of the initial core curriculum, as well as updates of the most popular lectures. The theme changes periodically and is selected based on customer requests.
The theme for 2007-2008 is aircraft systems with a focus on autopilots and engine management. We've also updated our Saturday ground school to include a very important module discussing WAAS approaches.
