Any flight school
Your practical training at any EASA-approved flight school. You're not tied to ours.
Every course, by licence.
From a first private licence to airline level, for aeroplane and helicopter, all by distance learning with the same instructors.
At a distance, never on your own.
You study when it fits around work, on a platform we built for EASA theory. Your instructors follow you through self-study, the brush-up weeks, progress tests, school exams and exam preparation.
- Course content written and updated in-house, not licensed from someone else.
- Progress tracking and the EASA question bank in one place, with iOS and Android apps.
- Teaching in English and German.
“The courses were remote which made the training super individual and flexible. The trainers were highly competent and super friendly.”
Theory is all we do.
Our story starts at Cranfield Airport in the United Kingdom in 2000. Since 2010 the school has been based in Dortmund, teaching EASA theory to pilots who keep their jobs while they study.
Helicopters have always been part of it: we were the first school in Germany to offer the complete ATPL(H)/IR theory course, and the first to introduce CB-IR theory.
