Jet Transition and CRM training in Florida

The Jet Transition Program is not a beginner course. It is built for experienced commercial pilots who are ready to develop the skills, confidence, and command required for multi-crew jet environments.
This program may be ideal for these individuals:

• Military pilots transitioning to commercial aviation
• General aviation pilots transitioning to a multi-crew cockpit
• Regional and commercial pilots preparing for legacy airline positions
• Helicopter or single-seat pilots seeking crew experience
• Pilots converting a foreign license to fly in a multi-crew environment

The Jet Transition Program is one of several pilot training programs at Acron Aviation Academy. Unlike the Professional Pilot Program, it doesn't take students from zero experience through commercial pilot training; it focuses on the operational skills licensed pilots need for complex multi-crew jet environments.

A Commercial Pilot License is required to enroll. If you're transitioning from helicopters, the military, or a foreign license and aren't sure whether you qualify, our Pilot Career Advisor team can confirm your eligibility and advise on the right path.

Train for the career, not just the checkride and license. The Jet Transition Program is built for pilots who are serious about the next stage.

Admission requirements

To enroll, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Be able to speak English proficiently
• Hold a Commercial Pilot License
• Be able to travel to Sanford and Orlando, Florida, during class availability

Important: The Jet Transition Program is not an FAA-approved program. It provides transition training for commercial pilots and does not qualify as primary flight training.

Simulator hours alone don't make a multi-crew pilot. Judgment, communication, and command do, and that's what this program builds. The Jet Transition Program gives experienced pilots the operational grounding to perform in multi-crew jet environments from day one.

The Jet Transition Program will provide pilots with training in the following areas:

• Crew resource management and crew-concept operations
• Commercial jet communications and checklists
• Differences between flight management computers on smaller aircraft and jets
• Cockpit procedures for commercial jets
• Confidence and familiarity in a commercial jet environment

Pilots often leave with a marked rise in confidence and proficiency in a commercial jet cockpit, an outcome noted by Southwest Airlines, a major customer of the Jet Transition Program.

Don't just learn to fly jets. Prepare to command them.

The Jet Transition Program is a short, instructor-led course that prepares licensed commercial pilots for multi-crew jet operations, covering crew resource management (CRM), jet cockpit procedures, and flight management systems. Delivered by Acron Aviation Academy, in partnership with Bell Murray Aerospace, in Sanford and Orlando, Florida, it runs across ground instruction, flight training device practice, and full flight simulator sessions.

From the classroom to the simulator, every step is designed to build the operational confidence that multi-crew jet environments demand.

Instruction is led by former fleet managers and chief pilots with major U.S. airline backgrounds. They are professionals who have operated at the level you're training to reach.

What’s included in the program:

• Training provided in partnership with Bell Murray Aerospace, an aerospace training provider with experience in commercial and military aviation
• Instruction from airline training professionals, including former fleet managers and chief pilots from major U.S. carriers
  CRM and crew-concept training built for pilots transitioning into standardized multi-crew jet environments
• A320 simulator training in airline-style full-flight simulator environments
• A graduation certificate upon successful completion of the program 

Bell Murray Aerospace brings a strong airline-training background to the program, with experience across commercial and military aviation training. Jet Transition instruction also draws on instructors with major-airline backgrounds, including former fleet managers and chief pilots with transport-category type-rating experience.

The Jet Transition Program is delivered in the Greater Orlando, Florida area through Acron Aviation Academy and Bell Murray Aerospace.

• Ground instruction: Acron Aviation Academy, Sanford, Florida
• Simulation:  Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida
• Schedule: Multiple classes each month based on availability
• Class size: Minimum of 2, ideally 4 to 6

This small-group format supports more focused interaction, stronger CRM practice, and a more personalized transition training experience.

The goal isn't just to complete the program. It's to be ready for a professional pilot career. Ready for multi-crew operations. Ready for responsibility. Ready for the next stage of a career that demands excellence.

Acron Aviation Academy produces pilots who are immediately employable. The Jet Transition Program is the step that prepares experienced pilots for multi-crew environments, where their employability is tested.

Upon completing the program, pilots will be better prepared for:

• Transitioning from single-pilot to multi-crew environments
• Commercial airline and commuter pilot interviews
• Military to civilian roles
• Converting foreign licenses

From single-crew to multi-crew. From where you are to where you're going.
