NEWS AND UPDATES

Safety is a cornerstone of the aviation industry, and at First Aviation Academy, it’s a commitment that is taken to heart. In a strategic move to further enhance safety practices and ensure the wellbeing of all stakeholders, the academy’s safety team recently participated in the Basic Occupational Safety and Health Training conducted by Safety and Sustainability Review Board (SSRB) of PTC Holdings.

Representatives from Philippines Air Asia (PAA) recently visited the First Aviation Academy to explore the potential of a partnership that could shape the future of cadetship training. The visit marks a significant step toward enhancing pilot education and producing skilled aviators to meet the growing demands of the aviation sector.

The Philippines is one of the preferred venue to pursue pilot training due to the country’s affordable yet quality aviation programs. With Airbus and Boeing forecasting a rise in demand for commercial pilots in the next 10 to 20 years, more and more students from around the world are going to the Philippines to take up pilot training and pursue their dream.

First Aviation Academy Inc. celebrated the graduation of its 24 pilot cadets from its Subic and Clark-based campuses.

Read the graduation message of Hon. Jaime J. Bautista, Secretary of the Department of Transportation to the graduates and guests of FAA’s first graduation ceremonies:

After the successful graduation of the first batch of pilot cadets last month, First Aviation Academy was quick to introduce a fresh batch of 11 young pilots this year.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) follows the guidelines set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which are similar to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards of the United Estates.

Instrument flying is the ability to fly an aircraft using only the instruments of the cockpit, rather than relying on visual cues outside the aircraft. It is an important skill for pilots because it allows them to fly in conditions where visibility is limited, such as in clouds or at night.

The best age for pilot training can vary depending on the individual and their goals. However, in general, the earlier someone begins training, the more time they will have to gain experience and advance in their career.

UPRT stands for Upset Prevention and Recovery Training, which is a type of training that helps pilots learn how to handle and recover from unexpected situations or “upsets” in the aircraft, such as stall, spiral or unusual attitude.
