Pilot Academy Welcomes 44 New Cadets

FlyBy Aviation Academy has begun a new pilot training course, internally designated Batch 26500, with 44 new cadets from 14 nationalities.

The intake has been split into two parallel classes, one at FlyBy's Burgos campus and the other at its Logroño campus, allowing the Academy to run simultaneous training streams across both locations.

The new course starts just weeks after FlyBy held a graduation ceremony awarding wings and diplomas to 15 new pilots from 13 nationalities, who are now beginning their careers with airline partners.

FlyBy's training capacity includes a fleet of 46 aircraft and 4 simulators, generating more than 40,000 flight hours per year, supporting parallel courses across multiple campuses.

Jesus Piñate, Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor (CTKI), said: "It's been a great few weeks for FlyBy: we said goodbye to 15 pilots who had just earned their wings, and now we're welcoming 44 new cadets at our training bases. And we're not slowing down, we still have more courses opening later this year, keeping up the same growth trajectory in both new intakes and graduations. None of that growth means much without strong foundations, and that's where theoretical knowledge training comes in: its quality is what prepares our cadets for the challenges they'll face later in the practical phase, and it gives them knowledge that stays with them for their entire professional life as pilots."
