Professionalism Starts Here
So how do you obtain the coveted “WINGS” through PAL Aviation School? We offer the following programs/courses: the Ab-Initio Training and the Modular Trainings.
I. Ab-Initio Training
The Ab-Initio Training is a pre-set training. This type of training is ideal for full time students as this type of training is done by batching system.
The first phase of training is the Private Pilot Training while the second phase of training is the Commercial Pilot Training with Instrument Rating. Both include classroom, simulator and flight training.
Private Pilot Training
A. Classroom Training (255+00 hours)
This phase of training introduces the students to complete and concise explanations of the fundamental concepts and ideas of flying.

B. Simulator Training (10+00 hours)
During this phase the students will undergo training in CAAP certified type simulator or flight training device (FTD).
Having studied each navigational techniques and procedures separately during the ground school phase, the student is exposed to study the integration of these navigational techniques and procedures in the synthetic trainer.
For the private pilot training, the student will undergo Basic Instrument Procedure Flying.
