⁠Erkan Karadeniz

“I have never heard of FSTC EUROPE till i join to initial type rating of Embraer 135/145/135BJ in March 2022. They have a 5-star sim that they rent in Switzerland/Zurich close to the airport inside the Lufthansa Aviation Center. Flight Instructors are super skilled and very experienced full of knowledge.

JOSE SANCHEZ

“Outstanding human approach and adaptability, no going around the bushes.. and giving a very personalized plan according to the student needs. Professional and honest interaction that gives a sense of relieve. They have a full complete database with assertive schedules in which all the members of the team are updated, aware and involved in the student matters, their trainings and academic proceeds.
Very knowledgeable individual “MENTORS” specialized and actual active professionals with Airforce backgrounds in each and every subject that they are dictating, instead of multipurpose “instructors” which only know the basics of whatever they are instructing.
I have used services several times from other academies around the world and there was always a disapointment, but FSTC EUROPE is definitely outstanding by far. 1000% Recomended. Old aviation training must change! and schools keep training 1980’s style and equipment, but you are improving and achiving it with your modern academic approach and equipment. WELL DONE!”

AASNA HASTEER

“FSTC EUROPE is an amazing school, I learned so much from them. They actually know how a pilot with knowledge can use it in real circumstances and be a safe pilot who’s ready for anything that comes ahead. Thank you to all my FSTC EUROPE family for your hospitality really one of the best schools to send your children for CPL, ratings etc.”

Tarlapally Ajay

“It is the best Initial training I ever had. They proved that a training can be fun and knowledgeable at the same time. Kostas is go to person for all training requirements. He moves mountains to get your work done. I am glad that luck has brought me to these wonderful people.”

Stylianos Stylianou

“Professional stuff focusing on discovering trainees miss understandings and help them clarify them.
The whole training session was detailed but on the spot of what a pilot needs to operate efficiently and safely.
Although I fly for a few years in corporate section, it was the first training with FSTC EUROPE and was by far the most efficient.”

Evan Tsiskakis

“Finished my EMB135/145 type rating at FSTC and could not have a better experience. Their professionalism, hard working personnel and great organisation should be noted! Finished my training on time without any delays.
Undoubtedly, what feels like a small step for one man, is always a giant leap for the team that supports him. So I’d like to thank the people at FSTC EUROPE who stood by me and struggled with me, so that I can witness my dream come true. Cheers to the memories made and to the brand new ambitions that will follow. Thank you!”
