You can apply by contacting us via WhatsApp, email, or by completing the application form available on our website.

Flight training typically involves around 100 flight hours, followed by additional hours to build experience as Pilot-in-Command. The theoretical phase is usually the most time-consuming and depends entirely on your commitment. Most students complete their training within 12 to 24 months, with 18 months being a common average.

Getting started is simple: contact us directly or complete the application form on our website, and our team will guide you through the next steps.

The duration varies depending on the course and your availability. See the training timeline table below for typical durations.

Our training is modular, which means you can progress at your own pace. Unlike integrated programs with fixed timelines, you have flexibility. However, keep in mind that certain elements such as PPL/ATPL theory or specific ratings have validity periods that must be respected.
