What our students say about us

AirTraining помогает мне осуществить мою мечту, при этом, позволяет заниматься в удобном для меня режиме и графике. Если у меня нет возможности пообщаться с преподавателем лично - я всегда могу задать вопрос по телефону или через Skype.

Также очень удобно планировать свои практические занятия через Google Calendar. Очень радует высокий профессионализм преподавательского состава, как теоретического так и практического. В школе всегда дружелюбная обстановка и позитивно настроенные люди, что всегда хорошо располагает к обучению.

Для меня также очень удобно расположение школы - на территории аэродрома Спилве, который находится непосредственно в Риге и всего лишь в 10 минутах езды от международного аэропорта Рига.

Дмитрий Анохин

Пару лет назад обратился в данную школу с необходимостью получения лицензии частного пилота.

Рассмотрел множество разных школ в Европе, но выбор все равно пал на AirTraining в Риге. Но не только из-за стоимости, которая безусловно ниже чем Германии или Австрии. В Латвии в принципе все дешевле и понятнее.

Остался очень доволен! Личный подход к каждому студенту. Сейчас продолжаю набирать свободный налёт именно в ней. Цена соответствует качеству преподавания и обучению на новых самолётах.

Роман Родин

Если вы живете в Москве, то Рига - оптимальное место для получения Европейской PPL. Из Москвы летает не менее 8 рейсов в день и это дает возможность посещать школу в любое удобное время для консультаций, брашапов и сдачи экзаменов.

Из нескольких Рижских школ выбор пал на AirTraining по двум причинам:
1) Полеты выполняются исключительно на самолетах Cessna (а не на раскладушках Tecnam);
2) Удобство и гибкий подход.

Я звонил в две школы, однако в одной мне сказали приехать строго к 9 утра, тогда как в AirTraining готовы были принять и в 7 вечера. Теорию изучал в основном дома, однако в любое время мог приехать и получить консультацию у преподавателей школы. Летную подготовку проходил с лучшими (на мой взгляд) инструкторами Прибалтики, пилотами гражданской авиации. Школа также взяла на себя оформление и подачу всех документов для получения лицензии.
