SummaryThe Integrated Professional Pilot Course is a high quality ab-initio course which prepares thegraduate for immediate transition to Jet Orientation and Type Rating on a medium jet airliner.

Progress Flight Academy has a twenty year track record of success in graduates successfullycompleting jet training and achieving appointment as First Officer.

Graduates entering General Aviation have a superlative operational capability.

IntroductionThe aim of the integrated Professional Pilot Course is to train the ab-initio student pilot to the levelof proficiency necessary to operate a single pilot multi-engine aeroplane in commercial airtransportation. Graduates will obtain the South African Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) withunrestricted multi-engine Instrument Rating (CPL/IR (ME)).

The course enables a student with no previous flight training to achieve a Commercial Pilot Licenceand Instrument Rating in one continuous course at the same Aviation Training Organisation.

Compared to the traditional Modular route, the integrated course achieves additional instrumentflight experience through credit for more ‘simulator’ time and through Student pilot-in-command(SPIC) time. SPIC allows the student to act as pilot-in-command in visual or instrument flightoperations under supervision of a Flight Instructor.

The privileges of a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) above those of a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) areto act as pilot in command in commercial air transportation of any aircraft having a maximumcertificated mass of 5700 kg or less, and to act as co-pilot in larger aircraft.

Key Benefits Graduates ready for immediate transition to jet aeroplane training Efficient training in an environment that maximises proficiency Modern well equipped Aeroplanes and type specific Flight Simulators Most comprehensive Jeppesen based Airline Pilot ground school Courses modelled on European EASA-FCL standards

Entry requirementsThe applicant for a SA CPL must be at least 18 years of age and in possession of a valid SA Class 1Flight Crew Medical Certificate.

The International recommended entry requirement for a Professional Pilot Course is equivalent to aGCSE ‘O’ level pass in five subjects, which should include English, Mathematics and a Sciencesubject

For South African students this means a Secondary Certificate with University EntranceEndorsement. If eventual airline employment is envisaged, then the maths should be a grade C orhigher; this is the desired standard for enrolment.

Proficiency in the English language is essential. To study the theory a high level 5 languageproficiency grading according to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) is required.Foreign students are able to study English in Port Elizabeth.

Each student requires a lap top computer or iPad for the Jeppesen training material.

The Integrated Course is an ab-initio course intended for students with no previous flight training.Students who already possess a Private Pilot Licence may be admitted to the course and allowedsome credit towards the flight training hours.

Training ObjectiveThe objective is to achieve a high operational capability and proficiency as the single pilot of amulti-engine aeroplane in visual and instrument operations, including the ability to safely handleemergencies in any situation. The graduate will, for example, be able to experience an enginefailure on a precision instrument approach in instrument flight conditions and achieve a safeoutcome.

We aim to instil confidence and decision-making skill to achieve ‘command authority’. This is vitallyimportant for a pilot not only in general aviation, but also in the airline where the First Officer mayhave to handle incapacitation of the Captain.

And we aim to achieve the superior operational capability that will enable a graduate tosuccessfully handle the very steep learning gradient in the transition to First Officer training for amedium jet airliner.

Flight hoursThe flight time allocated in each module is sufficient for the average student to achieve proficiency.

Dual flight instruction hours are planned to achieve the required standard of proficiency, and if astudent achieves this standard of proficiency in less hours then some time may be saved. There aresome exceptions, such as a requirement for a specific amount of dual instrument training time onthe integrated course.

The pilot-in-command time, solo and SPIC, is there to meet the regulatory requirements for thelicence or rating.

Analysing the records over the past eight years for our Kenya Airways cadets we can state that88% of graduates completed within the planned hours, and the average total time of all graduatesis just under the planned course time.

The average student at Progress Flight Academy can therefore expect to complete the coursewithout additional unplanned cost.

CoursesWe offer two integrated course alternatives for Professional Pilot training: Integrated Domestic CPL/ IR (ME) Course - for South Africa Integrated International CPL/ IR (ME) Course - for other states

The ‘Domestic’ course has 192 hours of flight time and meets the SA Civil Aviation Regulations(CAR) flight time requirement for the CPL / IR and is intended for candidates who plan to operatein South Africa in general aviation. This course does NOT have the pilot-in-command hours andtotal aeroplane hours needed for conversion to another International Civil Aviation Organisation(ICAO) state licence.

The ‘International’ course has 238 hours flight time which includes the 100 hours pilot-in-commandand 190 hours aeroplane time required for conversion to an ICAO licence outside of South Africa;

The courses are based on the use of: the Piper Warrior III aeroplane and Frasca 131 Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) for

basic training, and; the Vulcanair P68R aeroplane and Vulcanair P68R Flight and Navigation Procedures Trainer II

(FNPT II) for multi-engine training including Line Orientated Flight Training (LOFT). TheVulcanair P68R is equipped with an Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) similar to that inmodern airliners such as the Boeing 737 800 and the Airbus A320.

Ground Training

Private Pilot Standard Ground Training

The first week of the course is devoted to theoretical training, which then proceeds in parallel withthe flight training; it is a combination of 72 hours of lectures plus individual study.

The groundschool covers the basics of Human Factors, Meteorology, Aviation Law, Navigation,Flight Planning and Performance, Engines and Airframes, Principles of Flight and the syllabus forthe Radiotelephony Certificate (Aeronautical). Internal examinations are passed for the PrivatePilot Standard.

ATP Ground Training

The Airline Transport Pilot ground-school is conducted in two modules for the ‘Technical’ and‘Navigation’ groups respectively. The ‘Technical’ subjects are Radio, Instruments, Aircraft Technicaland Human Performance. The ‘Navigation’ subjects are Navigation, Meteorology, Flight Planning,and Law & Operations.

The duration of each module is twelve weeks; the lectures are held four hours per day five days aweek for eight weeks, followed by three weeks for revision and mock exams. The CAA SA CPLexaminations are written in Port Elizabeth on completion of the Mock exams.

The course uses Jeppesen training material and each student receives the entire Jeppesen softwarepackage to download on their laptop computer or iPad. The course starts with revision of basicmaths and general physics that is relevant to the course. Apart from the lectures, working throughexamples in class consolidates each major concept. Homework assignments (tutorials) are given atregular intervals to consolidate the material and assess understanding. Progress Tests using typicalCAA examination questions are conducted every week, and at the end of each module there is athree week revision period during which two full mock examinations are conducted. A full debrief isheld on all tests and mock examinations.

The CAA examinations are written at CPL level. If desired the student may then write the applicableATPL subjects; this will require an additional four weeks and the cost of the additional CAAexamination fees.

The entire ground-school is designed to be as practical as possible, imparting a true understandingof the subjects and expanding on the CAA exam syllabus in areas where additional practicalknowledge will provide better operational capability and safety. For example, students willdisassemble and reassemble a Continental O-200 aircraft engine (as fitted to Cessna 150).

The lecturers are full-time employees of Progress Flight Academy and are available outside ofnormal lecture hours for individual tuition where necessary.

A full report is sent to the sponsor on completion of each part.

A grand total of 756 hours is spent on lectures, tutorials, tests, mock examinations and debriefing.This does not include time spent on flight briefings.

Flight TrainingOur International CPL/ IR (ME) course is described in detail; the Domestic course follows the samegeneral format with variations as described below and as detailed in the price list.

Integrated International CPL/IR (ME) Professional Pilot Course (230 hours)

A total of 238 hours flight training is provided in two stages: 148 hours basic single engine aeroplane and 5 hours FSTD 42 hours light multi-engine aeroplane and 43 hours FNPT II.

Total instrument time in this course is 70 hours, which includes 25 hours in aeroplanes. Multi-engine instrument time is 60 hours of which 40 hours is FNPT II and 20 hours in multi-engineaeroplanes (includes 15 hours SPIC).

We endeavour to fly as much as possible in actual Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) asthis is important to build confidence and operational capability. Students are able to practiceapproaches applicable to their own geographic area on the Vulcanair P68R flight simulator.

Part 1 – Basic single engine aeroplane:153 hours flight time; 148 hours in Piper Warrior and 5 hours in Frasca 131 FSTD.

The first eighteen weeks of the course are devoted to training to Private Pilot Standard andconsolidation during which further general handling and day cross-country solo flights arecompleted on a Piper Warrior III. For the integrated course a Student Pilot Licence - IntegratedTraining (SPL-IT) is issued and used until graduation.

Planned dual flight instruction leading to the ‘first solo’ is 25 hours, and to the Private PilotStandard is 72 aeroplane hours. The legal minimum of 40 hours is totally inadequate to achieve thelevel of proficiency necessary to prepare a career student pilot for the multi-engine training tofollow.

General handling training concentrates on achieving a high degree of precision. Excellence inprecision landings is a hallmark of Progress students. The student is required to control approachspeed and approach path within a close tolerance. With this sound foundation, the students aretaught the correct technique to safely land the aircraft on a chosen spot at the minimum speed.Operation off unpaved runways makes students expert at short and soft field take-off technique.

Navigation training is based on traditional methods with great emphasis on map reading technique,the track record, elementary plotting, and simplicity in flight management.

The integrated course student will complete the SA CAA Private Pilot Licence General Flight Testand Navigation Flight Test and the logbook is endorsed that Private Pilot Standard has beenachieved. A Private Pilot Licence is not obtained.

The solo visual navigation consolidation includes three ‘prescribed’ day navigation routes. Eachroute is over 300 nautical miles long and involves two away landings; one at a major regionalairport with air traffic control and radio navigation aids, the other at a remote country aerodromeout of range of these navigation aids. Use of surface based navigational aids is encouraged, but useof satellite-based aids (GPS) is not allowed. Students are then instructed in ‘Tactical’ navigation,which involves low-level navigation with precise tracking and accurate timing. This visualnavigation training concludes with a Commercial Pilot Licence Standards Navigation Test to theICAO procedure.

Concurrent with this training the student completes the night rating, which requires a basiccompetency in Instrument Flight. The Night Rating training is planned for 17 hours; this comprises5 hours in the Frasca 131 Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) followed by 5 hours instrumenttraining and 7 hours night flight in the Piper Warrior. Note that SA law uniquely specifies 10 hoursinstrument training for the Night Rating. Garmin GPS with a moving map display is installed in allour aeroplanes; students are taught the correct, intelligent use of GPS during this stage. The nightrating is issued and then a prescribed solo night navigation route is flown.

Additional navigation flights on long routes to major centres are then flown; students areencouraged to propose routes and plan these flights.

Part 2 – Multi-engine aeroplane:85 hours flight time; 42 hours in Vulcanair P68R aeroplane and 43 hours in Vulcanair P68R FNPT II.

Flight Training commences on the Vulcanair P68R light twin with the Single Pilot Multi-engineAeroplane (MEL) Class rating. Training then proceeds with applied instrument training on theVulcanair P68R multi-engine FNPT II, and concludes with instrument training and general handlingconsolidation in the Vulcanair P68R, including a solo flight.

Multi-engine Class and Type training is very comprehensive; a total of 12 hours dual instruction isplanned for the rating (which includes the MEL Class test). The training comprises three hours inthe Vulcanair P68R FNPT II followed by 9 hours in the Vulcanair P68R aeroplane. The Single PilotMulti-engine Aeroplane Class Rating is then issued, after which the student has a solo flight in theVulcanair P68R. This solo time is very important to the development of the student’s confidenceand self-esteem, yet Progress Flight Academy is probably unique in allowing such solo flight in amulti-engine aeroplane.

Procedural Instrument Flight training uses the Vulcanair P68R FNPT II for 25 hours. Optimummethods have been evolved for visualising instrument indications to achieve maximum situationawareness. The syllabus includes International procedures such as DME arc approaches that areused in many states outside South Africa. This training is then enhanced by 15 hours LineOrientated Flight Training (LOFT) to develop multi-engine instrument flight skill and gainexperience in applied IFR operations. L-NAV and V-NAV (barometric) procedures will be introducedin the Vulcanair P68R FNPT II.

Following the FNPT II training the student receives five hours dual instrument flight training in theVulcanair P68R aeroplane and a 15 hours Student Pilot-in-Command (SPIC) time which includes aLOFT module. The LOFT is conducted in Instrument flight conditions whenever possible, and halfthis flight time is planned to be at night.

The general handling skills are developed in parallel during further flights in the Vulcanair P68Runtil the required competency is achieved. The emphasis is on achieving a genuine capability asthe commander of a multi-engine piston aeroplane.

The Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot Licence flight tests are both taken in a multi-engineaeroplane (Vulcanair P68R).

An in house CAA Designated Flight Examiner conducts the CPL and IR flight tests from Progressaerodrome. There are usually 2 separate flights; a CPL day test, and a night flight for thecombined Instrument Rating test and CPL night test.

“Progress Flight Academy is dedicated to developing pilots with a professional attitudeand a genuine operational capability at a reasonable cost.”

IntroductionProgress Flight Academy leads the South African flight training industry.

Since September 1981 we have been providing full time residential flight training courses atProgress aerodrome and since 1995 have trained pilots for transition to First Officer with airlines.

In 2009 we obtained CAA approval for the first Integrated Professional Pilot Course in South Africa.This increased training quality and reduced cost.

This year we introduced a ‘Premium’ Integrated Professional Pilot Course which represents aquantum leap in quality and a substantial enhancement in the operational capability of graduates.

The key to this development is the purchase of new Vulcanair P68R EFIS equipped multi-enginepiston aeroplanes and Vulcanair P68R type specific ‘simulators’. Progress Flight Academy is theonly flight school in South Africa using FNPT IIs that precisely replicate the aeroplane used forinstrument training. All the procedural and operational instrument training on this course isconducted in multi-engine simulators and aeroplanes. This major development enables us toachieve a superlative standard for graduates entering general aviation, and will enhance thetransition to First Officer training for airline candidates.

The record of successful F.O. training and appointments of our graduates is outstanding.

StandardsCourses offered by Progress Flight Academy are based on best international practice which is theEuropean Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) Joint Aviation Regulations Flight Crew Licencing (JAR-FCL) standard. Our International courses comply with all requirements of the International CivilAviation Organisation (ICAO) and the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Graduates fromour Professional Pilot Courses achieve outstanding operational capability.

InstructorsJohn English leads the Flight Instructor team. With over 40 years experience as flight instructor,he has both a military and civilian flying background. John holds an Airline Transport Pilot Licencewith a Grade 1 Flight Instructor Rating, is a CAA Designated Flight Examiner, and is also a qualifiedMechanical Engineer and Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.

All our Flight Instructors completed a Professional Pilot Course at Progress Flight Academy, and allare multi engine Instrument Rated full time employees. A Flight Instructor is assigned to eachphase of your flight training. The number of students to each instructor is restricted, so that yourtime is used productively.

Ground school lectures are provided by full time instructors of Progress Flight Academy. By limitingthe size of courses we ensure that you get the personal attention you deserve, and the instructorsare available outside formal lecture times to assist you with personal tuition as necessary.

FleetThe multi-engine aeroplane is now the high quality Italian Vulcanair P68R. This six seat cabin classhigh wing aeroplane was designed as a multi-engine aeroplane - the pilot sits ahead of the wingand engines with an uninterrupted view above and below, similar to an airliner. The Vulcanair isequipped with state of the art Garmin G1000 EFIS (Electronic Flight Information System), similarto airline equipment. The quality of design and construction of this aeroplane is outstanding.

The Vulcanair P68R is a very stable aeroplane and has the feel of a large aeroplane. The controlshave excellent authority such that the demonstrated crosswind capability is an amazing 25 kt. Weexpect the transition to jet aeroplanes to be easier from this machine than the typical trainingtwins in use.

The Piper Warrior III is used for elementary flight training. The seven Warriors in our fleet are latemodel low wing four seat aircraft with 160 hp Lycoming engines. These aircraft are stable, docile,and easy to handle, and perform well with a good climb rate and cruise speed. The fuel enduranceis excellent with very safe reserves for the routes flown, and they are well equipped with modernGarmin GNS 430 avionics and features such as standby instrument air system and emergencylocator transmitter.

All the aeroplanes are owned, maintained and operated exclusively by the Academy. This ensuresuninterrupted availability to students.

Flight SimulatorsWe commissioned the design and construction of two Flight and Navigation Procedures Trainer II‘simulators’ using actual aeroplane forward fuselage sections that replicate precisely the VulcanairP68R aeroplane. These FNPT II devices qualify for 40 hours training credit on an integrated course.

The quality of training is greatly enhanced as all simulator training is now on this multi-engineequipment. Students have the opportunity to practise instrument approaches in their own area.

MaintenanceWe have our own Aircraft Maintenance Organisation (AMO) that handles all routine service andmaintenance. This enables us to keep our aircraft in optimum condition and readily available.Students are also able to gain greater insight into the technical aspects of the course.

Progress AerodromeProgress is a private aerodrome developed specifically as a training aerodrome for the exclusiveuse of Progress Flight Academy to avoid the frustration and wasted time that accompanies flighttraining at busy airports. The rural setting of grass runways and surrounding woodlands justoutside the Port Elizabeth city limits and the paucity of air traffic make it an absolute pleasure forflight training.

The General Flying Area is only 4 miles away and Port Elizabeth International Airport is only 13miles, so we are very well situated for available flying facilities.

At the Port Elizabeth Airport we have ready access to world class Navigational and Approach Aidsso that Instrument Approach procedures are practised extensively by students and considerableexperience of operating in controlled airspace is gained.

CampusStudents are accommodated in single study-bedrooms in one of the ‘lodges’ on the aerodromecampus. Each ‘lodge’ has twelve study-bedrooms, ablutions, a small kitchenette and a lounge withDSTV. Wireless internet access is available free of charge in all lodges.

Courses include full board accommodation for the duration of the course in one continuous period.This includes three meals a day, tea or coffee at any time, and laundry.

The ‘mess’ is the focal point of the campus. Our on-site catering staff provide the meals in thedining room. There is a lounge with coffee bar and pool table overlooking the swimming pool.Facilities available to residential students include a library and clubhouse overlooking the runways.

TransportTransport is provided between the Port Elizabeth airport and Progress Aerodrome at the beginningand end of the course, for approved breaks, necessary trips such as examination sittings, as wellas for periodic outings. Students do not need personal transport.

ClothingStudents on the Professional Pilot Programme wear uniform.
