The JAA Airline Transport Pilot Integrated Course is most highly respected by airline recruiters all over the world. Those completing this programme successfully will benefit not only from the issue of a JAA Commercial Pilot’s Licence with Instrument Rating but also from the pedigree that comes with it. This proven reputation will greatly assist graduates in securing the all-important first flying position, for which they will be suitably qualified.

First Officer Direct offers entrants with little, or no previous flying experience, a carefully structured programme of training to fully cover the theoretical knowledge and practical flying requirements of the syllabus. This is scheduled for completion over a 56 week schedule, with classroom theory and instrument flight training conducted from Cranfield and initial visual flight training from our purpose built fair-weather base in Requena, Spain.

Start dates are set at regular two-monthly intervals, with course size restricted to a maximum of 24 students per course to allow a comfortable student to instructor ratio. Performance and progress are continuously monitored throughout training in order that students can be encouraged to achieve the best possible results so allowing recommendation to airlines on graduation.
