Pilot Flight Academy has gone bankrupt. Get an overview of your options and how you can continue your pilot training.
Pilot Flight Academy has gone bankrupt: what does it mean for you as a student?
Pilot Flight Academy has filed for bankruptcy, and many students have suddenly lost their place on the programme.
If you are affected by the bankruptcy, it is completely natural to be left with questions:
- What do I do now?
- Can I continue my training?
- Am I losing time and my investment?
This page is here to give you a fact-based overview, reassurance and concrete next steps.
What does the Pilot Flight Academy bankruptcy mean for you?
A bankruptcy normally means that:
- Classroom teaching and flight training stop
- Students cannot complete their training at the same school
- Documentation and previously completed training must be assessed by a new school
It does not mean that the dream of becoming a pilot is over, but that you need to find a new EASA-approved flight school that can take you further.
What can you do now?
- Get an overview. Gather the documentation for the training you have completed, and establish exactly how far you have come in the programme.
- Apply to another EASA-approved school. Another school can assess your level and help you continue, often with an individually adapted plan.
- Move on quickly in a stable setup. For many students, it is important not to lose momentum and valuable time.
