20 21 Integrated AB-InitioTraining Course Hub'Air is a leading European Aviation Academy. The Company was established and licensed in 2001 in Belgium as a flight training organization that covers all aspects of pilot training. It has since grown rapidly and today provides its services internationally with presence namely in France, Malta, UK and USA. Hub'Air has always been ahead of the others simply because it is driven by Aviators that practice rigorous training programs that go beyond normal requirements but that brings about the licensing of top aviators and not mere machine operators; practical training plays a significant role In the Integrated AB-Initio training. The majority of are experienced airline pilots and industry professionals, aerobatic champions and top gun pilots from Patrouille de France. The Integrated AB-Initio training course was developed for those individuals who aim to become first class aviators. But, we must warn you, not everyone can make it in this course, so one has to be ready for real challenge. During the participation of Integrated AB-Initio course we will combine theory and flying from the very beginning and will consist of different phases, each of them followed by an official exam. The phases comprise: | Aviation English course This is probably one of the most exciting and challenging moments of the course. The flight fundamentals are conducted over a period of 6 months in our EASA approved Airline training center located in France, next door to Lyons International Airport. Aerobatics champions, famous military French aerobatic team leaders and test fighter pilots will act as instructors and the student will be asked to perform solo flights and aerobatic maneuvers in the presence of professional experts. Accurate navigation flights and precision landings will be tested. | ATPL theory After the basic flight training in France, the ATPL theory takes place in Malta, for 4 months. The course includes traditional training manuals integrated with state of the art computer based training and electronic testing. All lessons must be completed and progress tests must be passed before one will be eligible to get signed off for the examinations. | Advanced flight training The advance training takes place in Malta for approximately 5 months. This course is split into two phases. The initial phase is performed in the simulator DA42 and the second phase will be in the real aircraft DA 42. At the end of the training, a final exam will take place in order to issue your commercial multiengine instrument license. | Multi-crew training A new course in English communication skills for pilots and air traffic controllers, helping you to achieve and maintain a level 4 according to the ICAO language requirements. Hub’Air has developed a range of language programs to help you accelerate English learning. | Skills assessment We determine your potential to become an Aviator, which is not an easy task and is divided into two levels, the first level is evaluation and training of candidates while the second level is dealing with the ability to understand, read, write and speak the English language. | Registration You will be able to continue the course only if you obtain an Initial Class 1 medical certificate and if you passed the aviators skills assessment. | Grading The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has identified pilot handling as a major cause of global airline accidents, accounting for 30% of all accidents. Pilot ‘handling’ has been highlighted for the first time. It differs from pilot ‘error’ in that sense, that it also includes judgment and procedures. Even if modern airliners require the use of automation, it sometimes still requires the handling flying skills of a pilot. That is exactly why Hub’Air Aviation Academy will focus on the basic skills that make top gun pilots, and this from the very beginning. This phase of flight training will also be a grading phase to evaluate if you have the ability to follow a learning curve required to become an aviator. BY AIRLINE PILOTS. | Flying Fundamentals FOR AIRLINE AND FUTURE PILOTS. This course is an essential requirement for airline pilot employment. The purpose of this course is to teach you the concepts of multi-crew cooperation and not the actual crew procedures required for a specific aircraft type. The Turbofan FNPT-2 simulator is used for this course. This simulates jet-like handling and has a full Electronic flight instruments system cockpit. | Jet Automation transition The purpose of this course is to teach the systems of a sophisticated airliner such as the A320. This is one of the most automated aircraft ever built and will give you confidence in managing the autoflight procedure and how to solve non normal events. The next Integrated Ab-Initio course will take place in April 2014. Do not miss the chance to become a Top Aviator and book now. Keep in mind that no other academy provides you with so many added values in an integrated course.
