These career paths are in addition to the July 2024 introduced funded fATPL and Flight Instructor Training Programme. This unique initiative will make pilot training more accessible by offering substantial financial support, covering up to 85%* of the £130,000+ training costs. Leading Edge Aviation’s groundbreaking training programme offers two distinct pathways to cater to different levels of experience. For those who already hold a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) and have some flying experience, the Modular Route provides an unprecedented opportunity. This first-of-its-kind pathway for modular students offers significant financial support, making it more accessible for aspiring pilots to achieve their fATPL (frozen Airline Transport Pilot Licence) and Flight Instructor qualification. For individuals with no prior flying experience, the Integrated Route offers a comprehensive training journey from novice to expert. This pathway covers all the necessary training to obtain both the fATPL and Flight Instructor qualifications, ensuring a thorough and structured approach to becoming a professional pilot. Both routes guarantee a two-year employment contract with Leading Edge Aviation, providing a secure and promising start to your aviation career.
