We not only educate, but motivate and elevate our students to equip them for future success.

Let’s be honest. Sitting in an ATPL classroom five days a week from 8am to 5pm studying Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems can be intense. So this week we headed to Flight Options - Advanced Training & Simulation to experience the A320 simulator and learn more about the opportunities available for airline interview simulator checks, ATPL flight tests, MCC training and more.

It was an incredible opportunity to connect classroom theory to the real world. Students were able to ask questions, see what lies ahead in their aviation careers and experience the flight deck first-hand.

And yes… we may have also done a hot lap around Queenstown in the A320 simulator. IYKYK. 🔥

A huge thank you to Rick Heaton for the warm welcome and for giving our students such a valuable afternoon. The advice, the experience and the aviation motivation were exactly what was needed to power through the rest of AASA week.

From study desks to flight decks. This is what it's all about! Take off with AFT, connecting you with your future! 🛫

Our CPL(H) students took a break away from their theory books for a tour of the Cooroy base.

McDermott Aviation are known globally for their aerial firefighting, emergency response and agricultural work. It was such an awesome experience seeing what really goes on behind the scenes to keep these helicopters safely in the sky. From maintenance and avionics to aircraft engineering, it was eye opening to learn just how much precision, skill and teamwork is involved in such an incredible operation.

A huge thank you to the lovely and knowledgeable Karla and Chelsea for showing us around and taking the time to educate us on all the ins and outs. An experience we won’t forget! 🙌🔥
