NO GUTS NO GLORY S‑211 PIC Program
The NO GUTS NO GLORY S‑211 PIC Qualification Package is a structured, all‑inclusive training program for serious, high‑performance pilots. Every sortie is part of a mission‑driven syllabus designed to produce a safe, capable S‑211 Pilot‑in‑Command, not a bucket‑list passenger.
What You Get:
3–4 intensive training days in the S‑211 (timeline is pilot‑dependent)
Aircraft + instructor + standardized syllabus
Fuel, maintenance, and insurance included
Training materials, briefs, and debriefs for every mission
DPE evaluation/checkride + DPE travel
Fixed investment: $35,000 all‑in
Estimated $5,000+ savings vs piecing it together hour‑by‑hour
You’re not guessing at how many hours you’ll need or what the total will be. You know the number, the standard, and the outcome we’re aiming at together.
FAA Approved Since 2018
The S‑211 is a real jet with real margins. This program is designed for pilots who want to meet that reality with discipline, humility, and skill—not adrenaline.
Is the NO GUTS NO GLORY S‑211 PIC Path Right for You?
You’re a strong fit if…
You have 2,000+ hours total time and a solid high‑performance or turbine background
You care deeply about safety, discipline, and standards, not just speed
You want to move from “I flew in a jet once” to “I am qualified to run the S‑211 as PIC”
You’re comfortable in a structured, military‑style training environment with honest debriefs
This is probably not for you if…
You’re looking for a one‑off “jet ride” or selfie flight
You’re not willing to train to standard and accept direct feedback
You’re unable to meet the minimum prerequisites in time for 2026
We do have additional non-PIC Training Opportunities that we invite you to explore
If the first column sounds like you, the next step is simple: request a slot and let’s confirm fit.
What the Completion Guarantee Actually Means
For pilots with 2,000+ total time who meet our S‑211 PIC entry standards, we add a defined layer of protection around your training investment:
We guarantee completion to Victory’s S‑211 PIC standard within 10.0 flight hours.
If additional time is required to reach that standard, Victory covers the additional time required, up to a defined cap.
This doesn’t mean we “rubber‑stamp” anyone. It means that if you bring preparation, discipline, and judgment, you’re not taking on an open‑ended risk of chasing proficiency past what you planned to spend.
You know:
The standard
The training envelope
The hours guardrail we’re committing to on our side
You get:
Once rated as PIC, vetted pilots can rent the jet for currency and personal use
Standards and safety remain non‑negotiable. The guarantee exists to align incentives—not to lower the bar.
From First Brief to PIC:
How the Program Flows
-
Submit a Schedule Request with NO GUTS NO GLORY in “Other Training Location Requested” so we can route your inquiry directly into the PIC pipeline
-
We review your experience, license, and Medical. You and your instructor align on expectations, timing windows, and any preparation you should complete beforehand.
-
You fly a mission‑driven syllabus in the S‑211 with structured briefs and debriefs. Every flight has a purpose tied to performance, safety, and PIC responsibility.
-
You complete the evaluation and, when standards are met, leave as a qualified S‑211 PIC.
Weather, maintenance, and individual proficiency can influence exact sortie flow, but the structure and standards remain fixed. You’ll know what we’re training to—and why—at every step.Why Serious Pilots Choose Victory and the S‑211 Platform

Every sortie blends:
Jet performance and energy management
UPRT and margin awareness
Decision‑making and briefing/debrief discipline
The S‑211 as a Training Platform
The S‑211 gives you true jet performance in a training‑friendly airframe:
Enough performance and envelope to demand respect
Enough stability to support meaningful learning, not just survival
A platform that sharpens how you think about energy, AoA, and margins in everything else you fly

Your Questions, Answered
-
We generally look for 2,000+ hours total time, a strong high‑performance or turbine background, and recent instrument and proficiency experience. After you request a slot, we’ll review your logbook summary, license, and Medical together to confirm fit.
-
We plan conservatively around likely weather windows and aircraft availability. If conditions or maintenance prevent us from safely executing the syllabus in the planned window, we’ll adjust dates rather than compromise training quality or safety.
-
Requesting a slot starts the conversation. We’ll work together to identify 2026 windows that fit your life and our training/DPE calendar before you commit to firm dates.
-
If you’re close and have a strong high‑performance background, it may still make sense to talk. Use the request process to outline your experience, and we’ll evaluate fit case‑by‑case.
-
Yes, you can bring anyone you want to observe from the ground, since it is only a 2-place jet.
