Introduction
This site is dedicated to informing those who are
interested about my journey to become an Airline Pilot.
I am currently in my second year at Bucks New
Uni studying on the BA (Hons) degree course in Air
Transport.
The first year also allows students to study for their
Private Pilots License (PPL) with Cabair at Denham along with degree
subjects.
The second year is dedicated to achieving your
ATPL exams (at either Bournemouth, Cranfield or Florida), your
Commercial Pilots Licence and Multi Engine Rating (at either
Bournemouth, Cranfield, Florida or Wycombe).
I have chosen to complete my
professional/commercial training with Wycombe Air Centre, which is
still part of the Cabair group. I have chosen to do this for various
reasons the first was that I am tired of being messed around by
Cabair all the time, and there lack of communication is appalling.
The second reason being that the staff at Wycombe are amazing
everyone is helpful, friendly and genuinely concerned with how you
are progressing.
I would strongly urge anyone thinking of
studying with Cabair Bournemouth/EPTA to talk to people have been
there, because as a BNU student you will receive substandard
treatment by the CGI who seems to have a vendetta against BNU.
I would like to note however that the above
mentions of Cabair are not directed at the general everyday staff,
flying instructors and operations guys, they are generally great. It
is purely the Management and administration with in Cabair that is
appalling.
News
I have passed all of my ATPL exams with an
average of 87%, this includes to first time failures in Performance
and Radio Navigation.
I am currently hours building (weather
permitting) and will hopefully have enough hours to begin my CPL in
June with Wycombe. You can view pictures and my progress in the my
flying section of this site!
