Program Will Run About 24 Months For New Recruits
ATR has announced the launch of a pilot training program in partnership with ENAC (French National School of Civil Aviation). This approximately 24-month program will recruit cadet pilots and offer a syllabus in compliance with the EASA regulations.
With the worldwide growth in air traffic expected over the next twenty years, there is a need to recruit a large number of qualified and competent personnel to ensure the effective and safe development of air transport. By creating new synergies between initial and advanced training, ATR and ENAC will more effectively meet the market transformation needs, especially in rapidly growing areas. This new offer is intended for long-standing ATR operators looking for a comprehensive solution and new emerging operators in search of qualified pilots.
Since the signing of a memorandum of understanding in June 2015, ENAC and ATR have developed and are planning to market several joint offers, such as modular training courses to prepare pilots for ATR Type Rating.
"This new initiative is at the heart of our ambition," said Philippe Crébassa, Deputy Director of ENAC. "ENAC, the top aviation school in Europe, supports French companies in their international expansion. With ATR, we will deploy together new tools in order to better train pilots and accompany the growth of air traffic.”
"This partnership with ENAC allows us to offer comprehensive, best-in-class training for ATR pilots," said Christian Commissaire, Director of ATR Training Center. "We are partnering with a global expert to meet the development needs of our customers who often struggle to recruit qualified pilots.”
