Hour Building Structured Course Content

The Flying Time Aviation hour building programme is designed to assist you in developing your flying skills from those of a private pilot to the standard required of a commercial pilot. We have found that in traditional non-structured hour building, the time is not normally used productively and no new skills are learned. It can often lead to deterioration in flying skills as bad habits and practices are picked up.

During the programme, candidates will be continually assessed and directed to areas of study to consolidate existing skills as well as learning new ones.  Through the continual assessment process it is possible to adapt the programme to meet the varied requirements of individual candidates and provide a personalised training package.
