Answers to Your Questions
CAN I USE MY OWN AIRCRAFT FOR FLIGHT TRAINING?

CAN I USE A 'N' REGISTERED AIRCRAFT FOR TRAINING?
Yes no problem.
HOW DO YOU SCHEDULE COURSES?
Our courses are delivered one-to-one and scheduled around your timetable. Tell us your availability and we will work out a bespoke training plan. A lot of our theory courses use online learning material meaning that you can study at home prior to flight
I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE CAN I GET A COURSE REDUCTION?
Providing you have relevant and recent turbine experience in most cases we can reduce the course length. However course proficiency must be reached.
CAN EASA AND FAA TRAINING BE COMBINED?
Yes no problem. We must have TSA approval (where required) prior to commencing any FAA training though.
WHY DON'T YOU CHARGE PER FLIGHT HOUR OF INSTRUCTION?
We charge either a full day or half day for instruction. This is to ensure that theory training is not compromised and thorough pre and post flight briefings are completed. We allocate you an instructor for your training course so that you get the benefit of training continuity.
