5 Hours • 2 days • Airline Simulator Prep Program
Fresh CPL? Ready to land your first airline job?
Most airlines in Canada and around the world are seeking candidates with prior airline experience. They want pilots who are prepared for professional airline training and familiar with the demands of a multi-crew environment.
Unfortunately, many new candidates come from single-engine piston backgrounds with little to no experience in multi-crew, multi-jet operations. That’s where we come in — we’re here to help bridge that gap and prepare you for the real-world challenges of airline flying.
Train with experienced professional pilots and prepare to confidently pass your airline simulator evaluation — whether you're applying to:
· Porter Airlines
· Air Canada
· WestJet
· WestJet Encore
· Cargo Jet
· Flair Airlines
or any 703s/704s in Canada.
