UNIVERSITY FLIGHT TRAINING AT NORTHERN AVIATION
In September 2002 the University of Leeds launched two new, innovative degree programmes: the BSc in Aviation Technology with Pilot Studies and the BSc in Aviation Technology and Management. These were the first university degree programmes in the UK that integrated pilot training to the level of a recognised qualification. Since their launch, over 100 students have been successful in not only obtaining an excellent degree qualification but, for those on the Aviation Technology with Pilot Studies, also the PPL qualification. Many of these students are now at various stages of further advanced training. Undergraduate students now have the opportunity and experience of learning to fly to the level of the Private Pilot’s Licence as a part of their degree at Leeds University. Northern Aviation and Cleveland Flying School are proud to be collaborative partners with Leeds University as the preferred flight training organisation. The pilot training facilities and expertise at Northern Aviation and Cleveland Flying School, together with specialist input from professional pilots and experienced flight instructors, provides one of the best possible starts for anyone wishing for a future career in aviation. As a student at Leeds, you will experience the best of both worlds and increase your options for the future.
In addition to flight training, you will study a range of subjects at the University that will prepare you for your Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) exams. Flight training up to the PPL level takes place during the first and second year of the course at Durham-Tees Valley Airport. The excellent facilities at the airport and purpose built training environment at Northern Aviation for students from Leeds provides a stimulating atmosphere and learning environment at a real working airport and advanced flight training school. Accommodation is provided for students close by in newly purpose-built, modern flats which are also used exclusively by students from Teesside University.
The current University Flight Training fleet comprises five C152's. Further details about the degree programmes at Leeds, entry requirements, modules studied and costs can be obtained from:
