Our mission
The mission of the Academy is providing an integrated FS-ATPL course. The course is divided in different chapters and each chapter is divided in some number of lessons. At the moment we have planned 70 lessons.There is no previous aviation experience or knowledge required. Each student need to possess at least one legal copy of MS Flight simulator or any other simulator. Although we only use MS Flight simulator therefore support for other flight simulators is not provided at this time.
At the end of the FS-ATPL (Flight Simulator Air Transport Pilot License) the student knows in depth: navigation, law, operations, systems, aerodynamics, communication and human performance. When a chapter was completed, the student has to take a test. If he scored more then 75%, he passed and can go on with the next chapter. If he failed the test, he has to learn the whole chapter again.
When all chapters are done it's the General Final Examination's turn. The student needs to score 75% on a series of questions. When he passed the GFE, he is allowed into the Type Rating Class. If not, he gets a retake, if he fails again; he has to retake all the chapters again.
The TRC (Type Rating Class) consists of all sorts of type-ratings. In the first stage we offer the Boeing 737 (Classics and NG's). In future stages we will try to expand to Boeing 747, Boeing 767, Airbus 319/320/321.
This type rating includes procedures, systems and flying technique. Tests and a GFE are also include in the type rating module.
