Executive Jet Program

The Mission

The duty of the USAPAT 92G Flight Steward is to provide the safety and comfort to the nations top military and civilian echelons, oversee the servicing of the cabin, and to prepare and serve gourmet in-flight meals.

To ensure this standard is met, we undergo training with FlightSafety International. This civilian corporate training ensures that we can recognize and identify potential in-flight emergency issues with hands on training utilizing emergency flight equipment. We also conduct “altitude chamber” training. This training is used to simulate the effects of high altitude on the human body.

We also receive MedAire in-flight Medical Management Training which includes a CPR certification by the American Heart Association. This training is received in order to treat in-flight illnesses and injuries, equipping Flight Stewards with valuable life saving techniques and the ability to recognize and stabilize medical incidents.

Lastly, we attend The Corporate School of Etiquette’s Culinary Arts Course. This training is hand on and is uniquely designed to provide the exemplary culinary skills with which are necessary to be successful in this very high visibility organization.

However, in order to better qualify for this assignment, it is recommended that you attend an Advanced Culinary Arts course. This is recommended because we are responsible for creating and preparing innovative meals for each and every mission flown. This is considered a graduate level assignment and an organization where your creativity and ingenuity are highly encouraged and welcomed with open arms.

Secondary Flight Steward: Chef

The secondary flight steward is the in-flight Chef and is responsible for providing meal and beverage services for the passengers and crewmembers. The duties also include handling and securing of luggage as well as assisting the primary flight steward on any emergency procedures.

Culinary

What sets the Army Executive Jet Program apart from counterpart branches is that culinary ingenuity is highly encouraged. Each of the assigned Chefs in flight have the artistic freedom to express and impress their customers. Creativity and skills are highlighted through their personalized menus based on the Distinguished Visitor’s dietary restrictions and preference.

Training

Each 92Gs come to USAPAT with a unique culinary skillset and knowledge forged by their own training and experience. While there is no required advanced culinary training; they will undergo a two-day serving etiquette during their Flight Safety Initial training and a five-day culinary enhancement course at DaVinci Inflight Training Institute. They will also be trained by Flight instructors on in-flight culinary applications prior to being assigned on a mission.
