There are many factors that set us apart from our competitors, below are just a few of the reasons why our students return to us again and again…

  • We have our own In-House Examiners, one of which is a CAA panel examiner
  • Our trainers and examiners are highly experienced with many hours of Military & Civilian flying
  • The Academy boasts 3 simulators – AW109E with force trim, AS350 Elite FNPTII x2
  • The Academy is the only flight school in the UK to have an AW109E simulator that faithfully replicates the aircraft in all the following critical areas– functioning autopilot, force trim with control feedback forces, full EFIS display. Furthermore, it is a replica of the cockpit layout of the training aircraft used by Castle Air Academy, which results in a seamless transition from simulator to aircraft.
  • Students are encouraged to use the simulators for ‘practice’ over and above the course specification at no additional cost
  • Extensive facilities that can handle large groups of students
  • Discounts offered for group bookings, reducing training costs significantly
