 Training Programme

 (14 and 15 years of age)

European Pilot Academy's Cadet Aircraft Engineer  Level training program has been recently introduced to bridge the syllabus between the Basic AirCadet and the Private Pilot level to cover in depth the Aircraft Engineering section.

The  Level training program is so designed to cover a clear understanding of the physical principles involved within the aircraft material and structural principals. The Cadet Aircraft Engineer is an intelligent solution for those who are interested in pursuing a career in the world of aviation  as a Professional Aircraft engineering.

Within the last 10 years the number of qualified Pilots has increased and also the interest to know more about aviation. The Advanced AirCadet will get the opportunity to continue to experience the training required towards becoming a Professional within the Aviation Industry of today.
