COURSE DETAILS
VICTORAIR and it´s partners (below) are proud to present, this professional all-inclusive Zero to Airline Pilot course. It will offer you a whole world of advantages in comparison with most common programs out there in the market.
This program is made in partnership by:
Upon finishing your course with us, you have been able to successfully fly various aircraft and simulators, such as Piper Cherokee, a TECNAM 2002 , C172 G1000 for IFR training and TECNAM 2006 G1000 for ME Training, FNPT II Sim for MCC and to finish you will use an A320 FFS to be able to fly a real Airbus A320 airliner.
You will be more than prepared to enter any Airline Operators Conversion Course (Airline initial pilot training)**.
The most common method offered by European Pilot Programs has been, to firstly complete the ATPL Theory, (which comprises 13 Aviation related subjects) and only then to start flying. This is called an Integrated course.
In the Integrated course, students are required to pay the whole course upfront. They are responsible to finish all 13 examinations within 18 months, before the flying phase.
Usually this brings: No Motivation, Less Flying Experience (Less Total Hours accrued), a Higher risk of failure and failling a part of the course means failling the whole course.
We believe in a different approach: A Modular and Multicultural program is the way to go.
Our method combines theory and hands on flying in different countries. Therefore your retention, experiences and most of all, your understanding of Aviation will be much, much better!
Using our method, after course completion, you will present yourself to the Airlines with a vast multicultural flight experience. Your Flight logbook will be a testemony of your handling capabilities.
VICTORAIR offers you a leading-edge advantage and an experience of a lifetime while accomplishing your dream.
Start by flying in Florida, USA! The sunny state, is the best place for General Aviation flying. Florida is known for it´s great weather and it has one of the biggest Aviation cultures around. Come and experience it!
You won´t stop there, then go to Portugal and study at a top notch School equipped with high tech Sims and great instructors.
For the Commercial Advanced Flying part of the program you will have the chance to fly in one of the most beautiful airspaces in Europe.
Did you thought that was it ? Normally it is, but not with us, nope!
You will then go to Spain and start studying and practicing procedures for the Type Rating of the Airbus A320. Then continue onto a Full motion Flight Simulator. After the Checkride fly in an Airbus A320 airliner (6 Take offs and Landings and 1 Go Around).
At the finishing of our program you will be ready to jump into the First Officer seat of an A320. Imagine the leverage against the competition!
