Flight school students in ground training

For flight schools and ATOs

Ab initio training with a record that follows the student to the airline.

AeroEBT starts at the first lesson: Part-FCL lessons graded with competency marks, students and aircraft managed in one system, on the same platform the airlines use for EBT, so when your graduate joins one, their account and logbook are already there. Students leave with their digital logbook, which belongs to them.

Why it matters here

An ATO is judged on what its graduates can do

  • Airlines ask for evidence

    A certificate says a course was completed. Airline partners increasingly want to see how competency developed.

  • Your authority is moving too

    Competency-based assessment and Area 100 KSA are the direction of travel for Part-FCL training, not an airline-only concern.

  • Instructors vary here as well

    Two instructors, one student, two different judgements: the same problem airlines measure, at an earlier stage.

From the first lesson

Progress you can show, not just hours you can count.

Each lesson is graded with competency marks alongside the pass, marginal or fail, so a student's record shows the trajectory, where they are strong, where they need another detail, and what the next lesson should target.

  • Part-FCL syllabus phases with stage gates, exams and skill tests
  • Competency marks on each lesson, not only pass or fail
  • Sponsor portal: airline partners follow their cadets during training
  • Logbook hours and pilot account that continue into MPL, type rating and the airline
  • On the roadmap: lesson grades mapped to the nine ICAO competencies and Area 100 KSA

The student keeps the record

They leave with their logbook and their training history.

When a student finishes with you, their digital logbook goes with them: the hours belong to the pilot, not the school, so there is no transcript to assemble. It is a real difference at open days, and it costs you nothing but a decision.

  • Digital logbook filled from each closed flight
  • Hours move with the pilot and can be exported at any time
  • The school keeps its record for the retention period its approval requires
  • The same structure the airline reads on day one, so nothing is re-keyed

One tool, ab initio to the line

The same system your graduates will meet again

Most cadets learn one system at the school and a different one at the airline. Continuity is worth more than either system on its own.

  • Same platform

    The school and the airline work on one pilot account, so the graduate arrives already known to the system.

  • One logbook, no re-entry

    Hours logged at the school continue at the airline without being typed in again.

  • No re-keying at the handover

    The airline inherits the evidence rather than a PDF pack and a phone call.

  • Straight into MPL or type rating

    The pilot account and logbook continue through MPL, type rating and line training without a break.

  • A credible answer to airline partners

    "Our graduates arrive already in the system you use, with their hours and training file" is a short sentence that closes a lot of meetings.

  • Your school keeps its own data

    Sharing with an airline is explicit, per cadet, and under your control.

Airline partnerships

What makes an airline choose one ATO over another

  • Evidence instead of assurance

    Show progress during the course through the sponsor portal, not a transcript at the end of it.

  • A record that transfers

    A pilot account and logbook that continue into the airline's own programme rather than stopping at your door.

  • Standardised instructors

    Measured consistency across your instructor team is a selling point, not an internal matter.

  • Devices that can credit the lesson

    Under the new FSTD rules, what your device can credit becomes an explicit question. Know the answer first.

  • MPL readiness

    If an airline partner wants an MPL programme, the programme design and the devices come from one place.

  • Capacity you can prove

    Utilisation and throughput data when an airline asks how many cadets you can take.

Questions flight schools ask

The EBT cycle as defined in ORO.FC.231 is an operator requirement. The practice underneath it (observe, record, classify, assess, debrief, report, calibrate) is how competency-based training works at any stage, including ab initio under Part-FCL.

Possibly, and we will say so. If your problem is scheduling and invoicing, start with FSMS. Competency assessment earns its place when you have several instructors or an airline partner asking for evidence.

No. The software works with any device. Using ours means the qualification evidence arrives with the device.

Lesson records carry competency marks today. Structured knowledge, skills and attitudes assessment mapped to the ICAO competencies is on the roadmap.

Only if you grant access, and only for the cadets concerned. Data sharing between organisations is always explicit.

Their digital logbook, whose hours belong to them and can be exported. Your school keeps its signed training record for the retention period your approval requires.

Because your graduate arrives at an airline already on the platform that airline uses for EBT, with their logbook and training file, and the airline has been able to follow their progress through the sponsor portal. Continuity is the part of an ATO offer that is hard for a competitor to copy.

Show airlines what your graduates can do.
