Initial & annual recurrent training · Nationwide
Ken Petschow and the PAS Flight Training team travel to airports across the United States to deliver one-on-one initial and recurrent training for owner-pilots and professional crews of King Air, TBM, PC-12, Jetprop and other high-performance aircraft.
Why pilots choose PAS Flight Training
Flying a high-performance turboprop or twin is a serious responsibility. Your insurer requires current, documented training. Your passengers rely on a pilot who knows the aircraft completely. And your schedule leaves little room for a week away at a training centre.
PAS Flight Training was built around those realities. Rather than asking you to travel, we come to you, delivering structured ground school and in-aircraft training at your home airport, in the aircraft you actually fly, with the avionics and equipment you use every day.
Every course is led one-on-one by an instructor with decades of airline, corporate and charter experience. The result is training that goes well beyond a checklist review: genuine systems knowledge, disciplined procedures and the confidence to handle the unexpected.

Your instructor
Ken brings nearly four decades of professional flying to every lesson. His career spans airline, corporate and charter operations, with factory training on the engines and airframes his clients fly, from the PT6 and TPE331 to the HS-125, the Boeing 777 and now the Boeing 787.
As an Airline Transport Pilot, Certified Flight Instructor and A&P mechanic, Ken understands not only how to fly your aircraft, but how its systems and engines work and fail. That depth is why owner-pilots return to him year after year for their annual recurrent training.
Client testimonials
After years of flying and multiple recurrent programs, I can confidently say this was the most in-depth training I’ve ever received. Every system, scenario, and procedure was covered with precision.
Aaron · Multi-Engine Turbine
Nothing was rushed, nothing was assumed. Every element was broken down and rebuilt to a level that gives you complete confidence in the aircraft and your decision-making.
Corporate Pilot · Owner-Operator
Most recurrent programs are checklist-driven. The focus on true proficiency, systems mastery, and real-world scenarios made it the most valuable training I’ve done in years.
