 ADVANCE FLYING ACADEMY

British Airways offers a Pilot Training Program through its British Airways Pilot Academy. This program is specifically designed to train pilots for a career with the airline, providing a direct route to becoming a British Airways First Officer and eventually a Captain.

Key Aspects of the British Airways Pilot Training Program:

1. British Airways Cadet Pilot Program (Sponsored Pathway):

   • Eligibility: Typically aimed at individuals who have little or no flying experience, but some flight experience can be advantageous. Applicants generally need to meet certain academic and medical standards.
   • Structure: The training involves a partnership between L3 Harris Airline Academy and British Airways. It combines theoretical and practical flight training.
   • Pathway: Successful candidates undergo Integrated Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) training, which includes obtaining a Private Pilot License (PPL), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), and finally, an ATPL. This training is designed to fast-track candidates into airline pilot careers.
   • Duration: The full training typically lasts around 18 months to two years, after which candidates will join British Airways as First Officers.
   • Financial Support: The program offers financial support in the form of sponsorship for some selected candidates, which can significantly reduce the cost of training.
   • Post-Training Employment: Graduates of the program who successfully pass the necessary assessments and flight training can expect to be offered a job as a First Officer at British Airways.

2. Direct Entry Pilot Program:

   • Eligibility: This route is aimed at experienced pilots who already have their licenses (such as ATPL holders) and may have a certain number of flight hours.
   • Structure: It includes training specific to British Airways' operational standards, including type ratings on specific aircraft they operate.
   • Pathway: After completing the necessary training, pilots can be employed as First Officers with the airline and progress through the ranks.

3. Requirements:

   • Age: Applicants are typically required to be 18 years or older.
   • Education: A good level of education is required, usually with at least GCSEs or equivalent (in the UK, A-levels or equivalent are also beneficial).
   • Medical Fitness: Applicants must pass a Class 1 Medical Examination, which includes a physical and mental assessment.
   • Flight Hours: The Sponsored Cadet Program generally requires no previous flight experience, but for the Direct Entry route, candidates must already hold an ATPL and have a minimum of around 1,500 flight hours.

4. Training Locations:

   • Training is carried out in partnership with L3 Harris Airline Academy, which has flight schools in locations such as the UK and the USA. It may involve training at other facilities depending on the program chosen.

5. Cost:

   • The cost of training can be significant, especially for the Sponsored Cadet Program, although British Airways offers sponsorship options that may cover some of the training costs. For the Direct Entry program, the costs would typically be borne by the pilot themselves unless otherwise arranged with the airline.

How to Apply:

• Applications for the British Airways Pilot Training Program are typically announced on their official careers website when recruitment is open.
• The process usually involves an online application, aptitude tests, assessments, and interviews.
