airline operator you need to know that your Air Crew are fully trained and able to
effectively deal with every possible scenario. That’s why we offer some of the most
comprehensive EASA approved courses in the world.
We are dedicated to offering you an ideal training solution using state of the
art equipment, professional Instructors and great facilities that will meet
your company’s training requirements.

Pilot Training
Our state of the art training centre offers an array of full flight and fixed base
simulators available to lease with one of our professional Instructors or to dry
lease with your own instructor. We can offer bespoke training packages to meet
your exact requirements and that of your local authority.
Our ground school facility has 28 purpose built training stations offering
innovative, integrated computer based training combined with the use of
fixed base simulators.

Engineering Training
We are recognised for continually delivering engaging and innovative learning
solutions with the unique advantage of being able to offer on-site accessibility to
aircraft. With the use of synthetic training devices and simulators we are able to
recreate real-life scenarios in support of EASA Part-147 practical training and
engine ground run courses.

Cabin Training
Through practical and classroom-based training we can equip your crews with the
skills required to deal with a complete range of drills and emergency situations.
We have an extensive range of mock-ups, equipment and classrooms at our training
centre and offer these on dry lease or with one of our professional instructors.

Flight Simulators

Reliability is a crucial enabler in a simulated environment and our continued investment in

professional engineering and development skills ensures seamless training.
Our portfolio of simulators can be dry leased for use with your own instructor or wet leased

 Non-Technical Safety Culture Training

At British Airways all flight training is built around a non-technical culture that is based on leadership
and management; teamwork; situational awareness; problem solving and decision-making.

Open Safety Culture

British Airways have been able to use data from thousands of sectors flown daily over a number
of years together with the information from events that our pilots volunteer to create learning
packages that are tailored to dealing with a complete scenario rather than an isolated issue.
All training is designed to deal with the three factors below that will be present in every
event or incident.

Danger Point
The Danger Point is where all three skills need to be used collectively as crews work together as a
team and manage events. Training for a specific isolated incident in the simulator is not enough to
create a culture and team based approach to improve safety. Real life events will come with more
complex and different scenarios that will require an effective team based approach that stops pilots
from becoming too focused on one issue alone. Our training helps crews identify other threats that
may arise further down the line so that the whole sector is managed safely and effectively.
Our training combines flight simulator training, classroom sessions, and briefing room exercises
to enhance the following skills:

• Leadership and Management

• Teamwork
• Situational Awareness
• Problem Solving
• Decision Making
All of our conversion courses also have this
philosophy incorporated into each detail.
