Salient Features of The Skyline Aviation Club

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
We have made our best efforts to make and maintain high standard of learning environment. Our Classrooms are fully air-conditioned to make learning in comfortable and relaxed conditions.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY
The courses are a carefully structured mix of classroom sessions, computer based training and audio-visual presentations through VCD, DVD, LCD Projector Home Theatre Movie Screen. Theoretical aspects guided by the faculty help the students test the concepts that have been explained in class
before assimilating them.

The courses are made simpler by using Jeppessen, VFR Maps like World Aeronautical Charts (WAC), Sectional Charts, Area Charts & Jepessen IFR Charts like Low / High Altitude Charts, Area Charts, Approach Plates, Landing Charts from Jepessen Airway Manual for VFR & IFR Navigation Moreover,
the courses are on up-to-date aviation information as per the "International Civil Aviation Organization" (ICAO) Annexes and documents, Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP) India, AERADIO, NOTAMS and updated Jeppesen Airway Manual especially for the Indian flying environment. The
Club is one of the rare institutions who boast of having highly qualified, rated and experienced war veterans.

Personalized instructions are provided to each and every student. The student's progress is continuously assessed through a series of internal tests and assignments. These are given significant weightage in award of Final Certificate, "Certificate of Achievement" from the Club

INSTRUCTORS
Add the most important component - THE INSTRUCTORS. No matter what the mechanical requirements of pilot training, it's the sincerity and ability of the instructor, which is most important to you. The Skyline Aviation Club searches for and employs the best. At The Skyline Aviation Club, more than the solutions themselves, the reasons behind the answers are stressed.

Our present pilot training courses are managed by well-qualified and highly experienced professional pilots who have not just attained knowledge and experiences of commercial pilots, but have special training on instrument rating, multi-engine rating and a special qualification as PILOT INSTRUCTORS. They hold "ADVANCED INSTRUMENT GROUND PILOT INSTRUCTOR" (A.G.I.I), Certificate of FAA from USA especially for you!

Some faculty members are retired pilots from Indian Air Force, Indian Naval Aviation, & Civil Airlines. The Faculty is capable of teaching students from zero level of Student Pilot through Airline Transport Pilot with their invaluable aviation experiences of last 27 years.

The Club and its instructors are holding membership or associated with many aviation organizations of the world like ICAO, Aeronautical Society of India, Federation of Indian Pilots, Aircraft Owners & Pilot's Association (AOPA) USA, International Air Cadet Exchange Association (IACEA) Great Britain,
Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Auxiliary, US Air Force, USA. Ninety-nine Inc. (International Women Pilot Association) USA, FAPA USA, EAA USA, Major Airlines Aviation Agencies and best flight training institutes in India and abroad. A combination of such versatile experiences is like adding one more
feather to the cap of the Club.

LIMITED SEATS
Our philosophy and intention are to limit the number of students in each intake to a manageable level of 24 students. This way, we can give each student more individual attention resulting in improved overall performance by the students. We have no more than 24 students in any phase of training at any one time.

EXPLANATION
Generally whenever students do not understand the topics, they try to learn everything by mugging up. But when the students have not understood the topic, they certainly cannot write in exams. Result is that student fails to score as expected. At " The Skyline Aviation Club", we are proud of our explanation capability in lucid language. Here students learn the concepts instead of mugging up.

PRINTED NOTES
We try to impart thorough proficiency in each and every subject not only through classroom explanation, but also by providing printed notes drafted in such a way, which the students find easy to grasp and remember.

TEST SERIES & GOVERNMENT EXAMS
Regular home assignments are given to students through test series. We aim to help students to plan studies systematically, give students sufficient practice, teach them to write perfect answers as expected in the D.G.C.A. / F.A.A. Government exams and above all gain confidence. On top of this we
have final prelim exam having standard equal to latest DGCA / F.A.A. Government exams. On completion of course, students are assisted to fill up examination forms to appear for DGCA / F.A.A. Government Examinations.

CONTACT PROGRAMME
We make it a point to keep the parents well informed about their child's performance through our contact program. Parents are invited to check performance of students through OPEN HOUSE.

PRACTICAL FACILITIES
We have well equipped and modern wireless lab having HF, VHF and UHF wireless sets where each and every wireless communication demonstration are carried out to understand the syllabus of Radio Telephony (R)/Flight Radio Telephone License and Amateur Wireless (HAM RADIO) License.

FLIGHT SIMULATOR TRAINING
Students are given opportunity to have training on Flight Simulator imported from U.S.A. During Flight Simulator training student learns and acquires basic flying skills through VFR mode and develops good instrument scanning while on IFR mode. We have facility of Internet and e-mail through which student is exposed to various aviation web sites of world. We offer computerized testing and examinations as per FAA, Government of USA for American Pilot Training Programs.

AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS
As technology has changed in each and every field of life, education cannot be isolated. We arrange educational films based on new syllabus, the entire study program on audiovisuals as viewing has much more impact than hearing. LCD Projector, with CESSNA CD's on various aviation topics will be
provided for all students. For the American Professional Pilot's License Ground Training Career Course, we offer coaching as per the FAA Syllabus for PPL, CPL and IR completely on video in addition to regular lectures.

FIRST FLIGHT EXPERIENCE
We arrange field trips, visits to various operational aerodromes & ATCs to provide better exposure to aerodrome environment and airplanes. During such visits we provide First Flight Experience by making student fly in an airplane for 30 minutes through our affiliated flight school. In the past we have arranged successful trips to Juhu Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Salem, Belgaum, Baramati and Surat aerodromes.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Since all courses are administered in English, a basic working knowledge of the language is recommended. However to avoid further delays in applicants' aviation education, a special class of aeronautical English has been set up for non-English medium students in bilingual instruction programs.
