Behind every pilot,
a whole team.
Your training draws on instructors, teaching teams and specialists who work together towards one goal: helping you progress in a demanding, structured and human environment.
Understand who does what.
Each department works in a specific area. Together, they ensure the continuity of your training and help you know who to turn to at each stage.
Turning an ambition into a concrete project
The Admissions team supports you before you start training: presenting the programmes, answering your questions, handling the admission steps and finalising your enrolment.
Welcoming you and pointing you the right way
The front desk is your first point of contact on campus. It answers everyday questions and directs you to the right person.
Following your progress
The Teaching team supports each student throughout their training, tracks their results and coordinates whatever is needed with the other teams.
Building your knowledge
Ground Training brings together the TKIs, who deliver the theoretical teaching and prepare students for the ATPL examinations.
TKI — Theoretical Knowledge Instructor
Training you in the air, from first take-off to autonomy
Flight Training brings together the flight instructors who guide students from their first hours to the advanced ratings.
Organising your progress
Planning coordinates the lessons, the flights, the simulators, the examinations and everyone's availability to keep your training moving.
Preparing your entry into an airline
The Airline Partnerships team develops Astonfly's relationships with the airlines and prepares students for their recruitment processes: applications, tests and selection interviews.
Supporting you all the way to your first job
The Careers department supports students for the 12 months following their training: building the pilot CV, preparing for airline selections and interviews, and following up applications.
Guaranteeing a safe, regulated environment
The team makes sure regulatory requirements are met, operations stay safe and training keeps improving.
