Abstract：This paper presents the findings of a phenomenological study of instructor pilot first-hand experiences when conducting training for collegiate flight students in a jet aircraft. While jet training has been conducted in simulators in the past, this was one of the first instances of training in an actual aircraft. A total of 22 students completed training in a very light jet aircraft during the spring semester of their junior year at the subject university. A group of four instructors conducted both simulator and flight training with the students. Surveys were used to collect data from instructors longitudinally throughout the length of the 16-week semester. At the conclusion of the training period, participants completed a structured interview. The results of those interviews suggested that students excelled in areas such as avionics programming, use of standardized operating procedures, and checklist usage. Students were challenged by the increased operating speeds of the jet aircraft, descent planning, and lesson preparedness. The instructors offered suggestions to enhance the course and provided a summary of the lessons learned.

Key words：Implementing Jet Aircraft Training, instructor Perceptions, Lessons Learned

总  结：在大学的飞行训练，喷气式飞机的使用通常被有限的经营成本高。而一些培训项目提供沿着观察，很少，如果有，在一个实际的飞机提供正式的培训。然而，该学科大学最近购买了一个很轻的飞机（VLJ）中使用的飞行训练课程。这是第一次，教师培训飞行员在时间为4年的专业飞行学位谁最近完成了他们的多引擎的商业一个仪表等级证书。的经验和看法，这些教师提供有价值的信息，为学生完成训练的第一队列。研究人员将在四个方面：研究报告调查的答复，内部外部培训培训挑战，挑战，和学生的优势领域。最后建议，可以用来修改和完善课程将提供。本文提供了一个综合的数据收集和提供未来的研究领域的建议。
