TRAINING |
Eastern Bloc Aircraft Services was established to provide
quality maintenance and jet warbird training. Our training
programs are designed to enhance confidence and flight
safety. Programs are based on the Russian style Eastern Bloc
Air Force fighter pilot transition course and begins with a
comprehensive ground training which takes you
through your
qualifications for a Fighter Jet Type Rating.Looking
for the best and safest training available in the warbird
sector?
Steve’s unique qualifications (fighter pilot, test
pilot, licensed A & P and Aeronautical Engineer) position
him to offer a well-rounded syllabus that covers far more
than the standard training.

|
Basic
Training / Type Rating |
 This
course will teach you the fundamentals of flying jet
aircraft. Having taught BOTH military and civilian pilots,
Steve will work with you at a comfortable pace to help
insure maximum retention and a thorough understanding of the
aircraft systems, flying characteristics, and important
safety issues. Whether you’re currently flying a small
Cessna, a 747 or transitioning from other complex aircraft,
this course will prepare you to comfortable fly jet aircraft
and/or acquire a type rating. Minimum requirements for a
type rating are a private pilot’s license, current medical
and 500 hours total time in a fixed wing aircraft.
The average piston engine student takes from 5 to 12 flight
hours to accomplish a course. The cost of the training
depends on flight time with discounts available based on
number of hours flown. Ground instruction is required and
included in the course.

Transition
Training |
|
|
Based on your needs, the transition training can be a
general course (for first time jet pilots) and/or be
specifically designed to simulate a specific jet which you
intend to fly. As needed for your experience level, you will
be provided with an in-depth understanding of the aircraft
systems, engine operations, flying characteristics,
performance capabilities, emergency procedures, basic
physics, aerodynamics, structural design, jet engine
operation, high altitude flight, high performance aircraft
and human physiology, ejection and parachute bail-out
procedures.
|
This knowledge will give you the confidence and make you a
safer pilot. Includes ground school covering the following
areas:
|
| |
|
|
Low/High Speed
Aerodynamics
Jet Airframe Design
Flying Characteristics
Jet Engine Design and Operation
Aircraft Flight manual
Aircraft Systems
Normal and Emergency Procedures |
Performance Charts
Fuel Management
Aviation Physiology
Ejection and Bail-Out Procedures
Basic Maintenance
Checklist
FAA Regulations

Jet Upset /
Recovery / Emergency Training |
 Commercial
pilots who fly private jets (Citation, Lear, Gulfstream) do
not have the opportunity to FEEL the results of having the
aircraft in a dangerously unusual attitude. Unfortunately,
all the simulator training in the world can’t demonstrate
the actual physical impact of high G loads while
simultaneously being disoriented. Upset training fills the
gap between fantasy and reality and is designed to show you
the skills that may save your life, and possibly the lives
of others, in an emergency situation.
This course will give you a taste of higher-level pilot
skill and hand-on experience of basic aerobatics, including
a JET SPIN (a maneuver many instructors are not capable of
demonstrating) and unusual attitude recovery. You will learn
how to control your jet in an extreme situation including
inverted nose-high, no speed or inverted steep dive
recovery.

JET AEROBATICS |
 Sign
up for initial or more advanced aerobatic training and
explore all basic aerobatic maneuvers in a Jet. If you are
already an aerobatic pilot, sharpen and enhance your skills
with the experience of higher performance aircraft such as
the Super Modified Delfin with an incredible climb rate of
12,000 ft per min! This course definitely makes you a better
and safer pilot! Maneuvers may include loops, rolls,
immelmans, Cuban 8’s, stalls and spins. Recognizing that
each pilot has his/her own tolerance for G forces, Steve
will constantly observe your individual skills and tolerance
levels making sure that your flight time is both educational
AND fun.  |
With extensive military training, Steve is the ONLY US
instructor qualified to perform a Tail Slide and Cobra
Maneuver. Due to the stress potential of these maneuvers,
they are ONLY available in YOUR aircraft.
Two day course initial training.

It is very close to the modern jet fighters with good
parameters and visibility, a high degree of safety and
modern equipment. It’s reliable, has excellent flight
characteristics and is extremely spin resistant in aerobatic
and fighter maneuvers even in cases of pilot error. In
Russia, it is gradually replacing the L-29 and is still
being used in Africa and Asia. The engine is an AI 25 TL
Turbofan with 3800 lbs of thrust.

approximately 4000 planes were manufactured by Aero-Vodochody
in Czechoslovakia. The L-29 is a tandem seat, turbo jet,
basic and advanced trainer which is currently flying in
Russia and some African countries. It was the second stage
aircraft in the Russian training system. It is pressurized
with an air-conditioned cabin and synchronized ejection
