"I started this course with no flying experience and two years later I’ve come out with a frozen Airline Transport Pilot's Licence and have demonstrated that I can safely operate a passenger jet in a multi-crew environment. It’s been a wonderful experience that has allowed me to fly, travel and meet so many people."

Data-driven ATPL training
What makes us stand out? We use Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as part of your ATPL flight training, which provides data-driven insights.
Why do we use FDM? It 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 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. Check out the video below.
