FAQ

Do I need a visa to study in Georgia?

Citizens of many CIS and European countries can enter Georgia without a visa and stay here for up to one year. We can help with an invitation if needed.

Where does the training take place?

The theoretical part (if needed) is conducted online. The flight training takes place at Natakhtari Airfield (Georgia).

Is it possible to pay for the training in installments?

Yes. All courses are paid in stages — you only pay for the current module (PPL, flight hours, etc.).

Do you provide student accommodation?

Yes. We offer accommodation either directly at the airfield or nearby Mtskheta area.

What level of English do I need?

A basic level is enough to start. Aviation English (ICAO) exam will be required — we help organize it online.

I have never flown before. Can I start from scratch?

No. For CPL(A) you must already have a PPL(A) license. If you don’t have it yet, start with PPL(A) course.

Can I start training without a medical certificate?

You will need a Class 1 Medical Certificate for CPL(A) practical training and licensing.
