JAT Airways Flight Academy

We’ll try to find answers to all of your questions and in this moment explain shortly everything relevant about pilot training in Jat Airways Flight Academy.

LICENCING Our Academy is as of this year completely in accordance with JAA (Joint Aviation Authorities). Our Civil Aviation Directorate issues JAA licence which is completely acceptable in whole European Union without additional formalities.

What you need to know is there are generally two types of licences, Private Pilot Licence and Commercial Pilot Licences. There are also different ratings that can be added to the licences, such as Instrument ratings, Type and Class Rating.

COURSES Also, there are two types of courses:

Modular courses are for people who wish to obtain professional licence in several steps. This is for people who already have a job or family, and who want to progress gradually, where the length of time is not primary issue.

Integrated courses are for those who want to become professional pilots very fast, but this requires constant (whole day) presence of the candidate on both theoretical and flying training. This is finished in a "breath" and the longest course of this type lasts approximately 14 to 16 months.

We expect new FNPT II ALSIM simulator and beside upper mentioned courses, soon we will offer ATPL integrated course as well as MCC course.


ENROLMENT CONDITIONS

1. MEDICAL CRITERIA The candidate must have at least Class 2 Medical criteria for PPL course. Medical check can be done at the certified AME in Vršac or in AMC centres in Belgrade (Jat Medicine or VMA). For all other licences and ratings the candidate must have Class 1 criterium. medical check can be done in AMC centres in Belgrade (Jat Airways Medicine or VMA).

Without this, the candidate can not enrol a course.

2. PRE KNOWLEDGE CONDITIONS

For all integrated courses the entry test from the following subjects is obligatory:

• Mathematics (Fractions, Percentage Calculus, Elementary Trigonometry, Linear Interpolation)
• Physics (Basic Mechanics, Fluids, Electrics, Thermodynamics)
• English language (grammar)

For PPL and modular courses there is practically no entry test in knowledge.

3. FINANCIAL CRITERION

The Academy has very flexible politics of payment and it is not obligatory that the candidate pays the whole training in advance. In this way we protect the candidate in the unlikely event that candidate aborts the training. Generally, candidates pay in segments of training. For example, firstly pay 30% of theory, and 20-30 flying hours. When this phase is finished the candidate pays for the next segment, etc.

To the expenses in the table you should add the expenses for the exams in front of Civil Aviation Directorate of Serbia.

TIME OF ENROLMENT

The groups are formed accordingly to the interested candidates. When there are enough of the interested candidates, the group is formed, and the course starts. The minimum number of candidate in one group is from 5 to 7 and the maximum is 12, as there is certain level of individual work with each candidate.
