While Icon Aircraft recently conducted a series of flights where the company’s CEO, Kirk Hawkins, tested the water handling characteristics and maneuverability of the A5 amphibious LSA, the company has started establishing a flight training program for the two-seat airplane. As Icon finalizes the FAA approval process for the A5 in anticipation for the first deliveries, the company plans to offer curricula to address a wide variety of flight experience for its owners.
The training program development is being established under the leadership of Jeremy “Hilda” Brunn, Icon’s director of flight training. Brunn is a former F/A-18 pilot from the U.S. Navy who joined Icon in January.
