How to enter Aeroflot flight school

Aeroflot Company in 2011 opened its own flight school. The reason for this was the company's needs for flight personnel and problems in the training of pilots in aviation schools. Graduates of civilian flight schools, people with higher aviation or technical education, military pilots can attend school.

general information

At the beginning of the training course in the flight school, it consisted of two stages. At the first stage, training took place at the Ulyanovsk Higher Aviation School with a degree in flight operation of aircraft. We studied there for 1.5 years. In the second stage, training was already underway at the Aeroflot school itself on a contractual basis for 6 months. If studying at the school was supposed to be free, then at school it was necessary to pay for training, for this the company issued a targeted loan in the amount of the cost of studying. The contract with the student stipulated that after graduating from the flight school he would work at Aeroflot for 5 years, while he would be deducted money from his salary to pay off the loan. But this program did not go, as the airline failed to resolve the issue of budget financing from the state to pay for training at the first stage.

The average salary of the second pilot in the airline "Aeroflot" is an average of 250 000 p. Therefore, paying for a targeted loan allocated to study at a flight school will not be difficult.

In 2013, flight training at Aeroflot consisted of two parts. Initial training took place at an accredited flight center in Florida, USA and took approximately 4.5 months. The course cost $ 55 thousand, and this does not include the costs of flights, visa and meals. After training, students passed two exams - in flight training and in the theoretical program. After successful passing the exams, the student received a pilot license of the American standard. The training in the second part was held directly on the basis of the Aeroflot flight school. Here they learned the basics of piloting a specific A320 aircraft. Studying took 6-7 months and cost about $ 30 thousand.
