Why Choose British Academy of Aviation Sciences ?

We are part of the Baoas Commercial Aviation business that combines Pilot Training, Flight Simulation, Flight Data Analysis and Avionics. Being part of a larger group comes with a number of benefits.

“I started this course with no flying experience and two years later I’ve come out with a frozen Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence and have demonstrated that I can safely operate a passenger jet in a multi-crew environment. It’s been a wonderful experience that has allowed me to fly, travel and meet so many people.”

Davina Battersby, Baoas graduate

Airline relationships

Our focus is helping you launch your career as a commercial pilot. Baoas’ relationships with airlines around the globe mean our dedicated Graduate Placement Team is positioned to find your first role. 

“We were delighted to attend Baoas’s London Training Centre recently for another successful recruitment event. The quality of the applicants was very high with a growing proportion coming from Baoas’s Graduate Placement Pool.” – Tamas Bodorics, Pilot Recruitment Team Leader, WIZZ Air

Data-driven training

  • What makes us stand out? We use Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as part of your flight training, which provides data-driven insights.

    Why do we use FDM? It creates a safer, more efficient training environment. You and your Instructor get detailed feedback on all training flights. So, what does it mean for you, the cadet pilot?

    • Airlines use similar technology: Data is key to an airline’s operation and we are committed to recreating that, or a similar environment in your training journey
    • Efficiency: Each cadet is different. Throughout training you receive insight that can highlight areas of excellence and potential improvement, a shift towards competency-based training

    This training innovation received the prestigious Aviation Technology Achievement Award. Check out the video below.
