It was always clear to me that I wanted to be a pilot and that I wanted to do it in a modular way. Where I always hesitated was where to study it. I started the PPL(A) with them and now I am finishing the flight hours to start the CPL(A). Thanks to all the staff at World Aviation for their sincerity, love and dedication in all the care they have given me during my training.

Before hiring World Aviation for the PPL(A) I spoke to 5 other 44VV schools and World Aviation was the only one that promised me (and kept their word) to set up my agenda for the theory classes and give me availability to fly with practically no time or day of the week restrictions. They have a new Tecnam aircraft with Garmin glass cockpit, the treatment is professional and friendly, I'm very happy with the choice made 🙂
