Data-Driven Training
Along with our £3,000 deposit* and multiple airline career pathways, what else makes us stand out? We use Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as part of your Integrated ATPL flight training.
Using FDM creates a safer, more efficient training environment. You and your Instructor get detailed feedback on all training flights. So, what does it mean for you, the cadet pilot?
- Airlines (your future employer!) use similar technology: Data is key to an airline’s operation and we are committed to recreating that, or a similar environment in your ATPL training journey
- Efficiency: We recognise that each cadet is different. Throughout your ATPL flight training you receive insight that can highlight areas of excellence and potential improvement, a shift towards competency-based training
This training innovation received the prestigious Aviation Technology Achievement Award.
