THE BEST PARTNERSHIPS FOR YOUR PILOT TRAINING

From selection to visual flight

SELECTED, SPECIALIZED PARTNERS COMPLEMENT THE EUROPEAN FLIGHT ACADEMY'S ACTIVITIES

The high quality of the pilot training at EFA is a key objective of ours, and that is why we generally implement the most significant training phases at our own locations. To be able to offer the training in a future-proof way, we outsourced individual units of the training to carefully selected specialized service providers. In our selection process, for example, we utilize the many years of experience of our cooperation partners, the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR, German Aerospace Center), of Interpersonal GmbH, and of the SWISS selection team. The first visual-flight phase in Goodyear, USA, will be implemented by our cooperation partner UAA (United Aviate Academy).
