INTERNATIONAL<br />
EDUCATION<br />
As part of their education, students at GreyBird Pilot<br />
Academy get the opportunity to fly internationally. In<br />
addition to flights to neighboring countries, the education<br />
program also gives you a chance to go to other GreyBird<br />
bases for weeks at a time. Swedish and Danish students visit<br />
Spain during wintertime and avoid fighting the freezing flying<br />
conditions in this region, while the Spanish students get to fly<br />
in actual IMC conditions in Scandinavia during summer.<br />
Training in other countries than your own has many benefits;<br />
the culture is different, and as a pilot student, you will learn<br />
about the challenges that come with being based in another<br />
country. The local shops' opening hours are different, and<br />
the people you meet in the streets do not necessarily speak<br />
<strong>English</strong>, but you will have to find a way to communicate.<br />
In addition, the terrains in the different areas are very<br />
different. This adds a whole new dimension to flying for the<br />
students.<br />
For Spanish students, training in Scandinavia means water<br />
and changing weather. For Scandinavian students, training in<br />
Spain means terrain and a different ATC or local aircraft<br />
communicating in Spanish. In addition, the students get a<br />
chance to bond with their classmates while they are away<br />
and meet new friends who also wear GreyBird uniforms.<br />
There are no distractions when you are away – “just” a lot of<br />
flying, classmates and new exciting things to learn.
