Introduction
Becoming a pilot is a dream career for many
individuals. The aviation industry is growing at
a rapid pace, and with it, the demand for
qualified pilots is increasing. A pilot training
course is the first step towards realizing this
dream, but choosing the right training course can
be a challenging task. In this Pier Seven
Aviation blog, we explore factors that students
must consider while deciding on a pilot training
course. Pilot training is a significant
investment in time, money, and effort. It is
crucial to make an informed decision when
choosing a pilot training course to ensure the
best training and job prospects. In this blog, we
will discuss the factors that students should
consider when deciding on a pilot training course.

1. Accreditation and Licensing
The first factor to consider when choosing a
pilot training course is accreditation and
licensing. Accreditation ensures that the
training program meets industry standards and is
recognized by aviation regulatory bodies.
Licensing is a requirement for pilots to operate
commercial flights, and the training course
should be designed to meet the licensing
requirements. Pier Seven Aviation is approved by
the EASA and other ICAO AOO and we confirm that
each course is accredited by the aviation
regulatory body in their country and leads to the
necessary licensing.

2. Type of Training and Equipment
The second factor to consider is the type of
training offered by the course. Pilot training
can be done in a structured classroom setting or
through a self-paced online course.
Classroom-based training allows students to learn
in a structured environment, interact with
instructors and other students, and get hands-on
experience. Online courses, on the other hand,
offer flexibility and convenience, allowing
students to learn at their own pace. Students
should choose a training course that suits their
learning style and offers the necessary practical
experience. At Pier Seven Aviation, we offer A320
FFS, B737 FFS, B747-400 FFS, and A320 FTD, all
approved by EASA and other ICAO CAA. Pier 7
Academy uses modern training aircraft and
simulators to provide students with a realistic
training experience. The academy has a fleet of
Cessna 172 and Piper PA-28 aircraft, which are
popular training aircraft, and a Redbird FMX
full-motion simulator, which is a
state-of-the-art simulator that can simulate
various weather conditions and emergencies.

3. Curriculum
An aviation institute, unlike other training
courses, mimics real life situations perfectly
and is a crucial factor in a pilots training.
The institute should have well-maintained and
up-to-date equipment that is suitable for the
training needs of the students and as per the
latest industry requirements. The aircraft should
be modern and equipped with the latest technology
to ensure that students training helps them
adjust to new aircraft with ease. The curriculum
should cover all the necessary subjects required
to become a pilot, including aerodynamics,
aviation weather, navigation, regulations, and
aviation safety. Students should also ensure that
the course provides hands-on experience in flying
aircraft and includes both flight simulation
training and actual flight training. Pier Seven
Aviation offers not just EASA and other ICAO CAA
approved courses but also a comprehensive
solution for boarding, lodging, and logistics so
that each student can focus on learning. Pier
Seven Aviation Academy offers a structured
training program that is designed to meet the
requirements of different types of pilot
licenses, such as a private pilot licence,
commercial pilot licence, and airline transport
pilot licence. The program includes ground school
training, flight training, and simulator training.

4. Reputation of the Training Institute
The fourth factor to consider is the reputation
of the training institute, with so many new
institutions mushrooming, it is crucial to
research the training institute and check its
reputation within the aviation industry. The
institute should have a good track record of
producing qualified pilots, and its graduates
should have a high employability rate. It is
worth looking at the airlines that the institute
partners with and the career of its previous
students. The curriculum should cover all the
necessary subjects required to become a pilot,
including aerodynamics, aviation weather,
navigation, regulations, and aviation
safety. Students should also ensure that the
course provides hands-on experience in flying
aircraft and includes both flight simulation
training and actual flight training. Pier Seven
Aviation offers not just EASA and other ICAO CAA
approved courses but also a comprehensive
solution for boarding, lodging and logistics so
that each student can focus on learning.

5. Word of Mouth / Review
No matter how many quantitative lists we have,
nothing works better than the review of a person
with a similar experience. All pilot training
courses, from rookie to advanced, are aimed at
the betterment of their careers and job
prospects, so its important that the course has
benefitted others who can vouch for it. Still
