The Best Possible Training

Whether your ambition is to reach CPL/IR level or to go further and become a fully qualified airline pilot, we'll do everything we can to ensure you complete your training with flying colours.

Foundation and Basic Training

Our CTC Wings iCP training programme is specifically designed to give you an immediate advantage over other people entering the industry. We set high standards for all of our trainees and you benefit from a training programme renowned for being one of the best in the industry - state of the art training facilities and world-class instructors will ensure that, with the right determination and commitment, the right people will achieve their chosen goal.

CPL/IR training takes about 14 months. You will complete the first 12 months in New Zealand, at our Crew Training Centre at Hamilton International Airport; returning to the UK to sit your Airline Transport Pilot licence (ATPL) theoretical knowledge exams and to enjoy some well-deserved leave. Following this, the rest of your basic training will take place at our Crew Training Centre in Bournemouth in the UK.

On satisfactory completion of the CTC Wings iCP course, you will have achieved your JAA (frozen) ATPL and JAA CPL/IR.

Now you have the option to apply for the CTC Wings ATP route for licensed pilots and go on to a career flying for an airline.

Progressive thinking puts you ahead of the rest

As a CTC Wings iCP trainee, you're introduced to applied instrument flying much earlier than more traditional programmes and receive considerably more Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) training.

Your conversion to multi-engine (ME) aircraft takes place earlier than usual so your total ME time will be much higher that most approved programmes.

Plus, you are introduced to basic Crew Resource Management (CRM) concepts and trained and assessed in technical and non-technical skills throughout your training.

Whatever your ambitions, CTC's progressive training will prove an advantage and, should your dream be to become an airline pilot, you will be in a prime position to be considered for training and placement with CTC Wings ATP subject to availability and your performance during training.
