Description

This is a uniquely designed course aiming to provide not only the necessary training for a professional career as an Airline Pilot but an expensive professional experience as well, immediately after the completion of the program. It is a fact that a typical ATPL course that comes along with 207 hours of Flight training is not enough to pursue a job in the aviation industry, and therefore additional hours building is required. The ATPL/FI  course consists of an Integrated ATPL, a Flight Instructor course along with a two (2) years paid job contract as an Instructor within Hero Aviation Flight Academy or as Commercial Pilot in the transport side of our business. Besides the Flight Instructor’s salary of 12,000 € per year, the next and most important advantage of this program is the experience and flight hours that will be acquired during the employment period. HERO AVIATION & transport Ltd will sign a contract with students who will apply for 0-ATPL and offer a job immediately after the completion of their training. On completion of the theoretical and flight training the students will also have gained a Flight Instructors Rating and immediately start their career. At Hero Aviation we are proud to offer this unique system supporting our students all the way into a prosperous future in aviation! We are able to offer this program because we are certain of the standards by which our student are trained and we are more than happy to keep them within our company and watch them develop further.

We don’t only teach students, we create pilots!
