A day as a Pilot
Discover what a typical day looks like for a student pilot at FlyBy: ATPL ground school, simulator sessions and flights from real airports, guided by instructors who support you at every stage.
At FlyBy Aviation Academy, our student pilots train at real airports, fly modern aircraft, and learn from experienced instructors who guide them every step of the way. You’ll see firsthand the discipline, teamwork, and decision-making required to fly safely and confidently.
It’s more than training: it’s a glimpse into the life you’ll lead as a professional pilot and the first step toward turning your passion for aviation into a career.
What Student Pilot Training Looks Like: Theory, Simulator and Flight
A great pilot starts with a strong foundation. Our structured ground school covers everything from aerodynamics and meteorology to air law and navigation. It is taught entirely in English by bilingual instructors and every year welcomes students from over 115 nationalities.
Experience real-world scenarios before you face them in the air. Train on our Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 simulators — the same aircraft that power the world’s leading airlines. Sharpen your instrument skills, master complex procedures, and build the decision-making confidence that defines a professional pilot.
This is where it all comes together. Our young, modern fleet, 95% equipped with glass cockpits, gives you hands-on experience from day one with the technology you’ll find in commercial aviation. With dedicated instructors by your side, every flight hour brings you closer to the cockpit you’re aiming for.
Your career doesn’t start when you finish training — it starts here. Learn from instructors with thousands of airline hours behind them, who bring real-world experience into every briefing. We prepare you for multi-crew environments, airline interviews, and type rating programs so that when the opportunity comes, you’re already ahead of the competition.
