Introduction

Andorra Aviation Academy and its partners offer pilot training courses approved in Europe by EASA (EASA ATO.0033)
The Academy provides a professional university and flight-training environment that promotes the best-in-class airline standards in terms of safety, quality, standardization, and performance. In addition, it develops managerial skills to consolidate critical thinking, decision-making in complex environments, leadership, and communication.
We are using the same Competencies model (9 competencies) used by all major airlines to allow our students to develop technical and nontechnical skills required to get the first position as First Officer.
Based on the latest university research in pilot and complex environment training, we have developed a teaching method called “mindful training” to allow students to cope with complex and unexpected situations and promote “mind mapping” in students to match industry expectations.
Pilot training is by nature, expensive. To lower the cost of training while keeping high standards, we have set up agreements with which are ‘general aviation’ partners in Europe. All these advantages contribute to faster completion times, to standardize the quality of training based on European EASA's latest requirements.
We provide an all-inclusive program (no hidden costs) that is tailored to the specific needs of each student. The head of training directly contacts parents upon completion of each phase.
TKI (Technical Knowledge Instructors) are active and current Pilots for major airlines, with University degrees.
