Pursuing their dreams: The first Airbus-trained pilot cadets have graduated

P

roudly wearing their newly-pinned wings, the cadets have become the first to graduate from Airbus’ Ab-Initio Pilot Cadet Training Programme – taking them one step closer to a career as a commercial airline pilot.

These cadets underwent their first phase of training at Airbus Flight Academy Europe in Angoulême, France, which included over 750 hours in ground school, plus 200 hours of flight instruction. They will now transfer to the Airbus Training Centre in Toulouse, for jet orientation and multi-crew cockpit cooperation courses, where they can follow upwith a Type Rating.
