I recently completed my training with AFTA as a Ryanair Mentored Program Cadet. My training included a multi engine CPL, ME/IR, APS MCC and AUPRT training in order to convert […]

Shortly after finishing in AFTA I secured a job with Stobart Air flying the ATR 72. I spent a year and three months in Stobart flying in challenging conditions and I believe the experience I gained there will stand to me for the rest of my career.

Training at Cork airport, a busy international airport, you can experience all four seasons in a day. Looking back, while at the time I found it challenging training in these conditions, I’m glad that I did as it has prepared me in the best way possible for my career ahead.

I can honestly say that choosing to become a pilot and attend AFTA was the best decision I have ever made. I cannot express my gratitude enough to every person in the team at AFTA. There is no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

I couldn’t
recommend AFTA enough to any aspiring pilots as they give you all the help you
need. I was an 18 year old with little flying experience and no theory
knowledge when I started my course. I only had dreams.
