Fiji school offers pilot training

CHOOSING a career is a huge challenge for school leavers and for those seeking a change to their career path. 
Deciding what job interests them, finding out what training is available and selecting the right training institute is a big responsibility.
One career choice that offers excellent job prospects is aviation. 
Many students from around the Pacific have chosen to do their Pilot Training with Advance Aviation Training (Fiji) Ltd. 
Advance Aviation Training (Fiji) Ltd is located at Nadi International Airport and operates single engine and twin engine aircraft exclusively for flight training. 
A fleet consisting of Cessna 150s, 172s and a Partenavia P68, their aircraft are based at the AAT hangar, in close proximity to their other training facilities within the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji (CAAF) compound.
Accountable manager Deborah Hinton said: “Since our pilot school started, we have trained students from around the Pacific region and beyond including; Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia, South Africa and Mongolia.”
Courses include private pilot licences (PPL), commercial pilot licences (CPL), airline transport pilot licence theory (ATPL), as well as twin engine endorsements, instrument ratings and instructor ratings 
The new DCX pro-motion flight simulator for instrument training, the first of its kind in Fiji, a motion flight simulator, provides a new level to the flight training experience. 
The simulator is open to both pilots and the public to use.
