We provide a wide range of professional high quality training services for pilots. Camflight was founded in 2001 and has continued to grow steadily, expanding our range of services and recruiting highly experienced instructors; each a leader in their professional aviation field. Our courses are relevant for the most popular aircraft types and models in operation, including industry leading avionics suites and are compliant with both U.S. and European regulation.
I recently undertook the Cirrus Transition Training program with Arwyn Jones in a G5 2015 SR22. The whole course and set up that Arwyn provided was nothing short of brilliant.I came into the program with just over 400 hours; an IR but almost no experience at all with an autopilot or a glass cockpit and was excited but equally concerned about how the training experience would play out. I felt Arwyn tailored the program perfectly for my level with a highly professional and personal approach that turned out to be such a joy.
Arwyn rightly commands respect as someone with tremendous experience across all aspects of aviation and I was somewhat daunted by the gradient of experience – yet I found Arwyn to be highly accessible, enthusiastic, personal and very professional.
Like all great teaches, Arwyn’s skill is in his ability to pass on some of his wealth of knowledge and experience to someone with far less understanding in an environment that enjoyable while at the same time structured and personalised.
Simply I found my learning experience with Arwyn to be a tremendous privilege and would highly recommend Arwyn to anyone not only looking to transition to a Cirrus but more broadly to those looking to improve as a pilot.
G1000 / Perspective SimulatorHaving recently acquired a glass cockpit C182 with only few hours G1000 experience, my wife and I were faced with the urgent task of getting up to speed with the avionics so that we could enjoy the plane’s full potential.
CAMFLIGHT’s desktop simulator has proved to be an excellent solution for us and even after a few sessions we quickly became familiar with the most important systems. Working in an environment free of the additional cockpit workload and expense of flight allowed us to concentrate on the G1000 and was not only less stressful but also a more efficient learning experience.
We found the most effective way to use the simulator was to work through the flight plan using the waypoint, VNAV and instrument approach functions and then to reinforce this by flying the course as planned on the following day. My wife (non-PPL) has quickly become confident with the systems and now takes care of flight planning as well as being able to check other G1000 functions.
We can’t recommend the desktop trainer enough and continue to make use of it as we become more proficient.
I recently undertook my IR/SE renewal with Arwyn and in addition I wanted to take advantage of increasing my aviation skill set by using Glass Technology.
Initially, Arwyn provided the G1000 ground school on the G1000 desktop trainer, which is a superb piece of equipment, followed by the practical Glass Technology flying.
Arwyn’s teaching approach is both calm and patient and his extensive knowledge both on the ground school and the practical flying aspect, I found to be excellent.
I believe I got the maximum experience out of the time spent with Arwyn.
I recently undertook a 1-day refresher course on the Proline 21 Desk Top Trainer with Captain Arwyn Jones. The accommodation and equipment were excellent with the course being delivered not only in a highly professional way but also practical and enjoyable. We have also put three pilots through an initial two-day course, once again with excellent results. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course for both initial and recurrent training.
Arwyn is a patient and extremely competent/knowledgeable ground instructor. He utilises a ‘suite’ of type approved avionics simulator programs, course notes, and aid memoirs tailored to meet needs. His approach to in flight training is also individualised, his style is calm, competent and flexible. My training was completed on time, at an agreed budget in a personable and highly professional manner, and I would offer an unreserved recommendation.
Arwyn has provided me with ground school for the G1000 and some training and proficiency check for my IR.
What Arwyn doesn’t know about the Garmin avionics is not worth knowing – indeed there is probably nothing he doesn’t know about them.
His approach to training is practical and pragmatic and delivered in a way that is easy to take in and remember. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with him and look forward to many more.
Arwyn is the best instructor/examiner I have ever flown with in my 25 years as a GA pilot. He is particularly adept at imparting knowledge and making what initially seems rather daunting incredibly simple, that is a rare quality in my opinion. Every time I fly with Arwyn I learn something new.
Capt. Arwyn Jones has been known by me for many years in the training and flight testing area and is a very just and honest examiner. He is well liked by all who know him and never gives incorrect advise or information.
