Fleet

Our fleet

A training aircraft has to satisfy three things at once, and most academies compromise on at least one. It has to teach the right habits. A cadet trained on analogue instruments arrives at a modern flight deck carrying a scan they will have to unlearn, so glass cockpit from the first lesson removes a step entirely. It has to be safe by current standards, which means more than a good accident record. Current standards means the protections available today: airframe parachute recovery and automated attitude recovery among them. And it has to be economical to operate. This is the criterion nobody advertises and the one that most affects whether you actually fly, because an academy running expensive aircraft has a quiet incentive to ration hours. Choosing an efficient aircraft removes that incentive at source.
