The Fastrack Pilot Training Programme with Aviation Academy Scotland and Aeros is an immersive and streamlined training course designed for those serious about becoming professional pilots. This intensive programme takes students from little to no experience and builds them into competent, confident aviators ready for commercial airline training. With a focus on structured progression, modern training aircraft, and expert instruction, Fastrack provides a direct and efficient path to achieving a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and beyond.
Unlike traditional flight training, which can be fragmented and take years to complete, the Fastrack Programme is designed for efficiency without compromising on quality. The course integrates foundational training, advanced skill development, and commercial-level decision-making to ensure graduates meet the high standards expected in today’s aviation industry.
Students begin at the Academy with the Private Pilot Licence (PPL) phase, where they learn fundamental flight skills and gain their first solo experience. From there, structured PPL Continuation and Command Development modules ensure they build the required experience and flight hours, with a focus on navigation, operational decision-making, and flight planning.
Students then transfer to an Aeros location of their choice where advanced training follows, including the Competency-Based Instrument Rating (CB-IR) for safe flight in controlled airspace and adverse weather conditions, and the Multi-Engine Piston (MEP) Rating, which introduces twin-engine operations essential for commercial aviation.
The core of the programme is the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), where students refine their handling skills to professional standards, learn precision flying techniques, and gain exposure to real-world commercial operations. Alongside this, pilots complete Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT), a crucial course that develops the ability to recognise and recover from aircraft upsets, enhancing safety and confidence under high-stress scenarios.
For those looking to further expand their career options, the programme also includes the option to complete a Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) or Airline Pilot Standard MCC (APS MCC), bridging the gap between single-pilot training and airline operations, preparing students for airline assessments and type rating courses.
The Fastrack Programme stands out for its use of modern aircraft equipped with glass cockpit technology from day one, ensuring students train in an environment that reflects the industry’s latest advancements. Small intake sizes allow for personalised instruction and structured progress tracking, ensuring every student receives the support they need to succeed. The Aeros Fastrack also means you can begin your journey closer to home via their partner network of flight schools, saving you time and money.
Graduates of the programme are well-positioned to apply for airline roles, complete a type rating, or take on flight instruction positions to gain further experience. With a strong focus on efficiency, safety, and career progression, the Fastrack Pilot Training Programme is the ultimate pathway to a professional flight deck career.
