Cost• Safety
– What is enough?– Consistency training
• Start / stop• Re-acquire / refurbish
training devices
– Uniformity among pilots

Guidelines / regulations• How is a suborbital flight school licensed?• How are courses and training devices approved?• How are RLV flight crew licensed?
– Third party training– Changes employer
• How much?– Time per flight mode– Number of suborbital flights– Time in a simulator

Possible solutions• Flight school
– Training defined as launch services in CSLAA 2004
– Permit / license as an RLV operator
• Flight crew– Part of safety system– Safety certification

Wrap up
• Suborbital flight schools are a good idea
• Guidelines / regulations need to be developed for suborbital flight schools
• Current law provides a mechanism to regulate training and schools
