The week after I finished my IR I was offered a position with Specialist Aviation Services. I start in the 2nd of September, will be doing an MCC course at the academy and then off to Italy for the type rating in October. Really looking forward to getting started.

I found my course with Castle Air very informative, professional but relaxed. I was very impressed with the simulator as it is almost identical to the aircraft, thus making the transition from the sim to the real aircraft much easier. The instructors are vastly experienced and good at what they do, making the course that much easier to understand and ultimately pass. The course was hard work, but I did enjoy it. I would recommend Castle Air to anyone.

I have really enjoyed the last two months at Castle Air Academy. I feel it was definitely beneficial to have spent 40 hours in a 109 simulator that replicated the aircraft, it made transitioning to the actual machine seamless. The instructors were all fantastic, delivering the course to a very high standard and the engineers worked tirelessly to ensure we had no significant delays to our training. I would highly recommend the academy for anyone wanting to do their ME/IR training!

In August 2019, I attended the AW109 type rating course under Al Scott, which was my first multi engine rating. Al is an outsanding instructor, alongside Oli Byard-Jones who was always happy to answer any questions we had. The facilities at Castle Air are excellent with their detailed AW109 simulator, training materials and several briefing rooms. My type rating training took two weeks – one week of ground school and one week of flying. Amanda was brilliant at organising the training dates, recommending accommodation and promptly replying to any queries I had. The team’s professionalism and combined experience was the reason I chose Castle Air Academy and I look forward to undertaking my IR course with them in the future.
