A CHOICE FOR LIFE!
Your choice of pilot school may be the most important choice of your career. Thus, examine the market
carefully. It is important that you choose a school at which you can see yourself spending hundreds of
hours and where you meet people you trust. Most importantly, you should choose a pilot academy
which you believe will help you to become the best version of yourself. It is crucial that you believe that
the staff is competent, and it is equally important that you consider yourself in good hands both
financially as well as security-wise.
At GreyBird, professional competences, security and safety are our most important parameters. For that
reason, we do not focus only on practical skills; an important part of the education is the development of
your attitude as well as the competences that enable you to make the right decisions in stressful
situations.
WE FLY GREEN
At GreyBird, we fly in state-of-the-art Tecnam
airplanes. The airplanes are both designed and
manufactured in the current millennium. Not
only that; they are green, using only 15-20 liters
of fuel per hour per engine, and they make very
little noise compared to older types. The aircraft
can fly on unleaded fuel.

THE BEST FUTURE PILOTS
With the Tecnam planes, GreyBird offers a product
not yet matched in the European aviation industry.
We offer more complex flying lessons in modern
aircraft at the same price as you will find in less
attractive programmes. A pilot who has recently
graduated from GreyBird has a total of 205 flying
hours – 137 of which are flown in state-of-the-art
Tecnam planes. We believe that this gives you the
best education and the best stepping-stone for your
future career. In the final module of the education,
you will spend 40 hours in an FNPT II MCC Airbus
A320 simulator. In this part of the education, you
will complete your APS MCC course, which must be
completed in a simulator.
When you graduate from GreyBird, you will have
flown 62 hours in a real multi-engine airplane, and
in addition, you will have spent 25 hours in our
procedure simulator which is an exact replica of the
aircraft. When you are investigating your flight
academy options, pay close attention to the number
of hours of real flying time in real multi-engine
airplanes. Frequently, a considerable part takes
place in a simulator that is different from the
aircraft, and even more often, many flight training
organizations use single-engine aircraft to conduct
IFR training. It is cheaper, but it provides negative
training and is less valuable than multi-engine
training.
