Flight Training – Pilotage

With the rapid development of the aviation sector, the growing number of Approved Training Organizations, and the universities that provide this training, flight training has become a realistic ambition for many people. Many people who are researching this training process to achieve their objectives by taking their places in the skies are confronted with many new terminologies related to aviation language.

The phrase "pilotage" is one of these terms. "What does piloting mean?" and "What is the difference between pilot training and piloting?" are common questions among those unfamiliar with aviation jargon. While researching such subjects, they also want to know about pilotage fees.

We'll break down these topics for you, starting with what pilotage means.

What is piloting?

For those considering acquiring pilot training, there are a variety of options. They can learn to fly at flight schools approved by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation or at universities that offer academic instruction in this profession.

Pilotage faculties are university departments that provide pilot training in conjunction with academic education. As a result, university pilotage faculties should come to mind when we discuss what pilotage means.

When compared to ATOs and universities, pilot training fees and training periods diverge. While the pilot training provided by ATOs lasts between 12 and 18 months on average, it is equivalent to a four-year academic study at a university.

Furthermore, you should only pay for flight training if you decide to acquire pilot instruction from an ATO. If you combine pilot training with academic education, however, you will have to pay for pilot training in addition to academic training expenses at universities that provide pilot training.

What Can Disqualify You From Becoming A Commercial Pilot?

To acquire pilot training in Turkey, you must meet the requirements outlined in the SHT-FCL document, which are set by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation – DGCA and are based on international standards. Medical, minimum high school graduation, and possessing a sufficient level of English language ability are among the piloting requirements.

Medical qualifications are one of the most researched and seriously concerned topics among those seeking this education. If you do not have a serious chronic disease, there are no barriers to your piloting or flight training. Wearing spectacles, for example, does not disqualify you from becoming a pilot. You must, however, use the glasses or lenses prescribed for you during the health assessment, training, and flight.

There is also a criminal record requirement in addition to these. A person with a dreadful criminal record is ineligible to become a pilot.

How to Become a Pilot

Another issue that people interested in pursuing a career as a pilot in the aviation sector look into is how to get pilot training. There are lots of options for obtaining pilot training.

Individuals interested in obtaining pilot training might do so at flight schools in Turkey or abroad. The method for converting to a Turkish pilot license varies based on the country of ATO and license type. Although flight school prices vary, flight training fees in Turkey range from 50,000 to 60,000 Euros, compared to 30,000 to 40,000 Euros on average abroad.

Another option is to enroll in a 4-year university faculty that offers formal piloting instruction approved by the Council of Higher Education. View the universities with pilotage faculties on the official web website of the Council of Higher Education for more extensive information on Universities Providing Pilotage Training. Eskişehir Technical University, Okan University, Özyeğin University, and Bahçeşehir University are a few of them. This alternative has a four-year pilot training period.

Another option is to enroll in one of the pilot training academies established by airlines as part of their corporate structure. The Flight academy fees are higher than the cost of other types of pilot training. The reason this alternative is preferred is that people who are accepted for this training do not pay for it in advance; instead, the training charge is withdrawn from their income after they begin working.

The pilot training costs vary for each choice, as can be seen from the options listed above. When researching flight schools, you should first establish the technique for obtaining pilot training, then review the training packages available to you and evaluate the training content and payment options.

In addition to practical instruction, pilot training includes a term of theoretical training. The ICAO PART-FCL document's Learning Objectives - LO section specifies the flight school courses and their contents for each training stage.
