Bigger and Better: More Space, New Scheduling System

PEA is just completing a major expansion, along with other student-centered improvements. Inside and out, the academy has been repainted. The student lounge is newly carpeted and decorated with oversized photos of PEA students and instructors filling the walls. More computers have been added for student use. The dispatch area was relocated and expanded; it now includes a comfortable lounge area for students with sofas and recliner chairs — and the best view in the house, large windows looking directly out on the ramp and taxi area. And a new kitchen area includes vending machines for student snack attacks.

The reception and Admissions Officers offices were relocated for easier access. More space was needed to accommodate PEA’s growth; approximately 3,500 sq. feet of additional space was added to the facility. Even new landscaping adds to the attractive front entrance area.

Another major change has been the installation of a new scheduling system, called ETA. Students can now check their flight schedules from off premises, anytime of the day or night. Scheduling and aircraft utilization has become easier and more efficient. Students and instructors can also debrief a flight directly onto a computer in the dispatch lounge.

It’s Not All Work and No PlayDuring flight training hard work is required, focusing on learning so many new things. You’re studying, you’re flying, and you’re in class. Not a lot of time to relax.

So when Phoenix East hosts a party for students and instructors, you know everyone is going to have a great time, as they did at the most recent PEA get-together. Held at the Riverside Pavilion in Port Orange, a beautiful site right on the water, it was an evening of good food, tasty drinks, lots of laughter – and time to get to know fellow students and instructors better. There was even a huge, table-sized coconut cake, actually a number of cakes, which spelled out “Phoenix East.” It tasted as good as it looked.

Where Are They Now?Commercial airlines worldwide have been looking to Phoenix East Aviation for well-trained pilots since 1972. Here’s the most recent list of graduates hired:

Pinnacle/Northwest Airline: Julian Prescott

LAN: Maripili Del Aguila.

Mesa Airlines: Michael Brant, Marion Brockman, Chris Campbell, Ray Coombs, Tony Dabruzzi, Brent Dunmire, Ray Hong, Yumi Kanda, Ryan Nussbaum, Jim Toholski.

Aviator’s Words of Wisdom:

Always remember you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands. Never let an airplane take you somewhere you brain didn’t get to five minutes earlier.
