AAC has been operating a flying school since 1985 and so far produced over 500 fully qualified pilots in the industry. The PPL program consists of 210 hours of ground school, where the students will learn subjects such as Theory of flight, Navigation, Meteorology, Human performance & limitations, Aircraft engines and Air frames, Air Law and Radio telecommunication. On the successful completion of ground training, the students will be transferred to the flying school based at the Katukurunda Air Force base, where they will fly Cessna 152 training aircraft for 46 hrs. These hours include circuit flying, cross country flying and night flying. The students are also given solo flying, for a certain number of hours, upon their satisfactory performance.
Upon the satisfactory completion of the PPL, the student has the option of following the Commercial Pilots Licence course with Instrument Rating (CPL / IR) which covers 340 hours of ground school and 154 hours of flying. During this time, the students will also fly complex aircraft / multi engine aircraft exclusively owned by AAC.
In addition to the above, AAC is the only flying school equipped with a Piper Seneca II multi engine aircraft, which is used by students to obtain their Multi Engine Rating. This is essential for any student, who applies for a cadet pilot vacancy in an airline.
The PPL and CPL programs are also followed by Assistant Flight Instructor Rating, which also could be obtained by a student who wishes to pursue a career in flight instruction.
