Welcome to the WestWind Training Center

Category I Trainer

The Aim of the Westwind Training Center is to provide you with a type rating for each category of aircraft you fly. At the end of the training, you will take a Virtual Check Flight which will allow you to take what you have learnt, and put it into an operations environment.

As you can well imagine, pilots who attend the WestWind Training Center have a broad range of experience. As such, we have set a fairly low level of assumed knowledge. If you have read the Flight Simulator handbook, then you will meet the required assumed knowledge.

About The WTC

The Westwind Training Center is located at Denver, in the State of Colorado.

The weather is in a state of constant change, and many a pilot has commented, that whatever weather they wish for, magically arrives.

Join us for a post flight libation in "The Closet"

After a hard day in the air, or on the ground, come by The Closet -- WestWind's official pub -- for a cool drink and some lively hangar talk. The Closet has been around as long as WestWind airlines, and has followed us from our original head offic in Houston then to Charleston, and finally to Denver. We'll see you there.
