Market Overview

VLJ Aircraft Success to Rely on VLJ Flight Training and Simulation

The affordability and popularity of very light jets (VLJs) have resulted in new synergies between aircraft manufacturers and the flight training and simulation industry. This has helped produce cost-effective and integrated training and simulation solutions tied to specific aircraft such as the Eclipse 500 or the Cessna Mustang to prepare new and transitioning pilots.

"The advent of affordable VLJs in the United States will create significant growth opportunities for simulator manufacturers and training providers in an otherwise mature market," notes the analyst of this research service. "VLJs are poised to create new aircraft operators and businesses, and new pilots will require major flight simulation solutions."

Integrated Solutions Delivering Quality Simulation and Training Essential for Market Success

Unlike twin-piston or other aircraft comparable in size, VLJs are highly powerful aircraft with features once exclusive to commercial airliners and other big business jets. "The availability of technologies such as SRM on VLJs requires extensive pilot preparation," adds the analyst. "Both new and transitioning pilots will need ground-based and in-flight instruction to fly these powerful micro jets safely."

The success of the VLJ market is heavily dependent upon the success of supporting training and simulation activities. Providers are moving into the market, in a race to capture as much of this new market as possible. Various market participants are positioned to leverage first-mover advantage with comprehensive, integrated solutions that deliver quality simulation and training. Close collaboration with VLJ manufacturers to design aircraft training and simulation programs is important to win the bulk of training and simulation activities tied to the specific aircraft, as well as to garner further collaboration with other future VLJ manufacturers.
