FAQs
Which training experience is best for me?
This course is designed to give you the experience of training in an Aviation Academy. Our 5 day course is best for those students who are committed to training as a pilot in the next few years and who are looking to test themselves against our standard, and to try out our Academy to see if we are the right Aviation Academy for them.
What if I find the training too demanding?
We are starting right from the beginning on this course, as thousands of pilots do every year. We will go at a pace that suits you. On our 5 day course our goal is to get you comfortable with handling the aircraft and thinking in 3 dimensions, there are no tests to sit or big mistakes you can make.
Do you have accommodation?
We have accommodation provided through a local 4-star hotel, which is Dinner Bed and Breakfast. You can get lunch at the airport. We will transfer you to and from the hotel in time for your lessons.
