本研究调查了极轻型喷气式飞机（VLJ）空中出租车和制造公司的高级飞行运营人员如何确定其当前和未来飞行运营的飞行员经验水平，培训，教育和资格。此外，本研究还探讨了大学航空如何解决VLJ行业的飞行员培训和教育需求。就这些问题采访了两家VLJ空中出租车运营商和三家VLJ制造商的高级飞行运营人员。结果表明，目前VLJ飞机商业运营的飞行员供应是由离开区域航空公司运营的飞行员以及各受访者目前空中出租车运营中的促销活动来满足的。为单驾驶员VLJ商业运营设计的创新指导计划并没有被常规地用于更传统的机长和副驾驶角色，以获得飞行经验和进步。传统的双驾驶员机组与单驾驶员机组的另一个操作影响是满足多驾驶员机组的特定客户保险要求。受访者重视大学航空业过去对工业飞行员的准备，并提出了调整课程的建议，从传统的死记硬背的系统培训转向驾驶舱管理。结果表明，虽然VLJ行业和大学航空之间没有立即建立正式关系的需要，但受访者对未来合作的想法持开放态度。
This study examined how senior flight operations staff at Very Light Jet (VLJ) air taxi and manufacturing companies determine pilot experience levels, training, education and qualifications for their current and future flight operations. Additionally, this study examined how collegiate aviation may address the pilot training and education needs of the VLJ industry. Senior flight operations staffs at two VLJ air taxi operators and three VLJ manufacturers were interviewed regarding these issues. Results indicated that current pilot supply for commercial operations in VLJ aircraft were being met by pilots leaving regional airline operations and also from promotion within respective respondents’ current air taxi operations. Innovative mentoring programs designed for single-pilot VLJ commercial operations were not being routinely utilized in favor of the more traditional Captain and First Officer roles for gaining flight experience and advancement. Another operational implication for the traditional two-pilot crew versus single-pilot was to meet particular customer insurance requirements for multi-pilot crews. Respondents valued collegiate aviation’s past preparation of industry pilots and offered suggestions in adjusting curriculum away from traditional rote systems training to one of cockpit management. Results indicated that while there was no immediate need for formal relationships between VLJ industry and collegiate aviation, respondents were open to the idea of future collaboration.
