United Kingdom – Resilient Pilot, the fast-growing aviation training and development platform, has achieved Approved Training Organisation (ATO) status from the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority.

Founded in 2020, Resilient Pilot supports over 10,000 pilots worldwide and works with airlines such as British Airways, Pegasus, and Virgin Atlantic to deliver competency-based training solutions. Resilient Pilot’s aim is to turn industry regulation into pilot resilience and performance, supporting the aviation sector as it embeds ICAO/IATA best practice for CBTA/EBT over the coming years.

Achieving ATO status enables Resilient Pilot to deliver the ATPL via distance learning and makes it the first organisation in the UK to integrate real-time virtual scenario-based training into KSA100 formative and summative assessments. This approach reinforces theory early in training and supports continuous pilot competency development, rather than waiting until the final APS MCC module.

Commenting on becoming an ATO, Founder and CEO of Resilient Pilot, Stuart Beech, said: “Achieving ATO status is a huge milestone for Resilient Pilot. Over the past five years we have gone from being a Covid start-up to spearheading the CBTA/EBT revolution in aviation, through our advanced training, development, and assessment solutions.

“Becoming an ATO is not only recognition that Resilient Pilot meets the regulatory standards required to train aviation personnel, it also reflects our commitment to helping the UK General Aviation sector go beyond the regulations and empower pilots to take control of their continuous development.

“The shift to CBTA/EBT is a big change for the aviation sector, but one that brings significant opportunities in tailored professional development and standardisation. Our approach has been designed by IEs and pilots, and is proven to both improve training effectiveness and reduce training costs for airlines – a win win for the aviation sector. Becoming an ATO is another key step in our mission to turn regulation into pilot resilience and performance.”
