INTRODUCTION
ABOUT CTC AVIATION
CTC ATP
We are a global airline pilot training and resourcing company, providing innovative solutions in partnership with our customers.
For newly qualified and licensed commercial pilots, achieving that first airline pilot role can be challenging and needs careful preparation and support. CTC ATP gives you access to an incredible range of First Officer opportunities.
Our latest generation training centres and resources are located at attractive, well-connected and convenient locations in Southampton, Bournemouth, London Gatwick and Coventry (UK), Phoenix (USA) and Hamilton (NZ). We provide a wide range of aviation services from trainee pilot selection, training and airline placement, to the more advanced selection, training and provisioning requirements for experienced pilots, instructors and examiners. CTC WINGS provides full-time airline pilot career programmes for both our individual and airline customers - underpinned by unique ‘Training Sponsorship’ and ‘Performance Protection’ opportunities.
CTC ATP is designed to select, train and prepare qualified professional pilots with a variety of flying experiences from EASA Approved Training Organisations (ATOs) and operators to become eligible for aircraft type rating training and co-pilot placement with one of our growing number of Airline Partners including BA CityFlyer, easyJet, Flybe, Monarch and Thomas Cook Airlines. Applicants will be invited to attend a selection day and enrol upon one of our world-renowned Airline Qualification Courses (AQC), suited to your previous flying experience. Our Airline Qualification Courses have long been selected by newly qualified commercial pilots as their ‘bridge’ course of choice to prepare them for their first airline role.
Airline Qualification Course (AQC) CTC Aviation’s industry-renowned Airline Qualification Course is an advanced Multi-Crew Co-operation/ Jet Orientation Course (MCC/JOC); An airline focused bridging course designed to fully prepare you for airline pilot operations in a commercial, multi-crew environment. Those with existing and proven MCC training to CTC Aviation’s approved standard have the opportunity to join a shorter AQC designed to complement your previous training and/or operational experience. Following selection, CTC Aviation will invite you to enrol upon either the full AQC or a ‘fast track’, reduced-cost course, reflecting your experience to date. Those meeting the required standard on completion of training will be put forward for First Officer placement opportunities with one of CTC Aviation’s growing list of Airline Partners.
