FIRST OFFICER PROGRAM & AIRLINE COURSE EVALUATION
Airman Knowledge Exam
One of the first items will be a general airmans knowledge test. This will be covering standard aviation knowledge from the Private to Commercial Pilot standards. The test is 50 questions and the applicant must score 80% or greater.
IFR Competency Course
Along with the entrance exam and evaluation process, Gulfstream Academy requires each student to complete our
Instrument Competency Course which begins on the first Monday of each month. The
Competency Course includes 8 hours of ground school, and covers the AIM, FARS, Jeppesen approach plates, and general instrument procedures. In addition, each student will receive two, 1.5 hour sessions in the Frasca 242 simulator with an instructor, for a total of 3 hours, in preparation for the Simulator Evaluation. The cost is Instrument Refresher Course $399, and is not included in the price of the First Officer Program. Should additional simulator time be necessary, additional cost may be encored.
Entrance Evaluation
Prior to final acceptance into the First Officer Program, each student must pass an entrance exam and simulator evaluation. The entrance exam and sim evaluation are not intended to assess the candidates overall proficiency. To review the simulation evaluation, a sample sim profile and a study guide, review the “Entrance and Study Guide tab”, which will cover the areas being evaluated. Should a student be found to have any significant deficiencies, they will not be admitted into the First Officer Program. After a 30 day waiting period the candidate may again apply for the program.

All candidates must submit a certified original copy of their driving record history covering the past ten years(or max available per state). Applicants who have been convicted of driving under the influence (or the equivalent), or have receive more than three (3) moving traffic violations in the past (5) years, may not be accepted for training.
Drug Screening Exam
All incoming candidates will be required to complete a drug screening urinalysis within the first two weeks of beginning training and on an ongoing random basis.
