All aspects of Instrument Rating can be carried out on-site without the need for travel and there are three simulators available for practice sessions. One of our simulators, the AW109E, is a replica of the aircraft with full autopilot, force trim, SAS, control feedback forces, full EFIS display and this is the only type of this AW109E simulator available in the UK.

The Academy’s purpose built, state-of-the-art facility has produced 300 instrument trained pilots and many of our students return time and again to complete training with us. Castle Air acquired Bristow Academy UK in June 2016, merging their training capabilities, facilities and instructors to form the UK’s biggest pilot training school in the UK.
