The training course for an SFI equals the content of the TRI training course.

Instructor certificates are valid for a period of 3 years.

The EASA approved training programme is performed according to the highest standards of aviation training, using a practical and operationally integrated learning approach with all training carried out using computer-based training tools, Full Flight Simulators (FFS) located on Sofia/Bulgaria and Istanbul-Antalya/Turkiye. (depends on customer discretion and availability)

With our extensive experiences in aviation and aviation training, we provide you with high-quality preparation for a successful future career on one of the most popular types of aircraft.

Instructors can conduct an assessment before starting the course to ensure that the candidate meets the course requirements criteria so that he or she can complete his training effectively, of quality, and within the course period. Those who do not meet these criteria may be subject to withdrawal from the course.

The training course can only begin after the contract is signed and the course fee is paid, provided that all formalities and the pre-course pilot proficiency test by the instructor for the relevant course are positive.
