Oh, I get it—you are trying to replicate the process professional pilots go thru and achieve that level of professionalism. Professionalism defined by commitment excellence in operation and safety. I’m saying you will have to design and force your plan on a flight school that may or may not be willing. Then, you need to acquire experience. You mentioned working for a third-party, I assume, as an F/O, to gain experience. Is that correct?

I was part of selling business jets; I’ve attended the conferences and seminars I linked for you. I’ve flown, by way of demonstration, to buyers like you. One was actually a former foreign military pilot, but he was also exceedingly wealthy and politically connected. Wonderful gentleman, a pleasure. His professional crew rolled their collective at his flying left seat with me next to him. I learned why—impatient, I had to repeatedly slow him down taxiing; hand flew well enough, as I expected, but refused any help with the automation. Expected everything to be handled by someone else and didn’t want to get a new type rating.

I understand you want to “better” than the accident reports, but they occur often enough that I submit they are “normal” accidents in Charles Perow’s term. That what our system produces, it’s not designed to produce professional grade pilots to fly VLJs.

Humbly, it would better to apply the concept of comparative advantage and specialization of labor and hire a pro crew and enjoy the life of wealth.
