The Best Possible Training

Intermediate Pilot Training - gaining jet aircraft experience

After the first 3 stages of selection, you will be invited to attend CTC's AQC (Airline Qualification Course) - a
three-week ground school and simulator-based training course incorporating MCC (Multi Crew Co-operation course) at our Crew Training Centres at Dibden and Nursling (near to Southampton on the south coast of the UK. This is the stage at which we bring CTC Wings Cadet and CTC Wings ATP pilots together to train side by side. It is also the final (fourth) stage of selection for CTC Wings ATP applicants.

This phase of the programme is hands-on, airline-focussed training using state-of-the-art Boeing and Airbus technology to give you the skills you need to manage a commercial flight deck and operate today's advanced jet aircraft in a multi-crew, IFR environment.

Advanced Pilot Training - take to the skies with our partner airlines

In the final and most exciting phase of the CTC Wings Cadet and ATP training programme, you get a real taste of what your new career holds as you work closely with one of our world-class partner airlines. Advanced pilot training incorporates type rating, aircraft base training, line training and line experience and, once you've proved yourself in the cockpit, you'll graduate as a fully qualified airline pilot.

When you reach this point you may find you complete this final phase with CTC or your partner airline, either in the UK or overseas - whichever way, you will now be ready to start flying as a First Officer with your airline.
