Phenix Jet Aviation Career Transition Program

ACP Jet Charters, Inc. DBA Phenix Jet offers a comprehensive 180-day Professional Business Aviation Pilot SkillBridge Program for qualified transitioning U.S. Service members seeking careers in civilian business aviation. The program is designed for experienced professional pilots who already hold an FAA Airline Transport Pilot Certificate, Airplane Multiengine Land privileges, Instrument Airplane privileges, and a current FAA First-Class Medical Certificate. Participants receive structured transition training in FAA Parts 91 and 135 operations, business-aircraft systems, Standard Operating Procedures, Crew Resource Management, Threat and Error Management, Safety Management Systems, aircraft performance, aviation meteorology, domestic and international mission planning, oceanic operations, flight-deck automation, maintenance coordination, Flight Operations integration, aviation security, professional client service, irregular operations, and integrated mission management. Training combines instructor-led classroom instruction, aircraft technical training, computer-based instruction, simulator or flight-training-device exercises, scenario-based training, structured mentoring, supervised operational exposure, and a final integrated mission capstone. Professional pilot experience may have been obtained through military, airline, corporate, charter, government, instructional, or other professional aviation operations; military pilot experience is not an independent prerequisite.

SkillBridge participation is limited to a maximum of two participants per calendar year.
