Oxford Airline Training (OAT) has announced the launch of ‘Expedite’, which the company describes as a ‘new fast-track modular programme designed to complete the commercial ratings stage in as little as sixteen weeks’.
Based at OAT’s HQ at Hangar 7, London Oxford Airport, the new ‘Expedite’ programme combines all advanced training modules, including multi-engine piston and instrument rating, commercial pilot licence, advanced upset prevention and recovery, and airline pilot standard multi-crew cooperation. The course includes 125 hours of flight and simulator training, consisting of forty hours of Diamond DA42 multi-engine flying, forty hours of DA42 simulator training, forty hours of APS MCC jet simulator training on either an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737NG flight deck, and five hours in a Super Decathlon for advanced upset recovery and aerobatic experience. Students also receive forty hours of classroom-based technical knowledge instruction and personalised airline recruitment preparation.
OAT says ‘Expedite’ is designed for pilots who have already completed the early stages of their modular journey and require an accelerated route to airline employment. Graduates complete the programme with a frozen ATPL, APS MCC qualification and airline assessment preparation.
