21/07/10
AgustaWestland, a Finmeccanica company, is pleased to announce that the "Alessandro Marchetti" Training Academy headquartered in Sesto Calende (Italy) has been awarded Flight Training Organisation (FTO) certification by ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority). Becoming a FTO in accordance with JAA (Joint Aviation Authorities) standards will enable AgustaWestland to further expand its range of training solutions, to now include basic training courses for pilots. As a FTO the Training Academy will be able to supply Private Pilot Licence (PPL(H)/Night Qualification) courses and instrument ratings on multi-engine helicopters (MEIR(H)) through to commercial pilot licences with instrument ratings (CPL(H)/IR - ATP(H)).
Trainees will be offered comprehensive packages consisting of classroom led instruction, use of advanced training devices such as a flight navigation procedural trainer and flight simulators. Flying will be conducted on single engine AB206 helicopters and twin engine AW109 Power helicopters. Courses will be delivered in Sesto Calende while flight activities will take place at AgustaWestland's nearby Vergiate plant.
Achieving this certification will allow AgustaWestland to further enhance its level of training services to serve its growing customer base worldwide, particularly to support new markets and help operators start new services and business opportunities. AgustaWestland provides the widest range of helicopter training services utilising the most advanced training aids at its training academies located in Italy and the UK and full flight simulator training through its Rotorsim joint venture facilities located in Italy and USA.
The company enjoys an enviable track record in successfully training both commercial and military pilots and maintainers from all over the world. Training programmes are tailored to meet a customer's individual needs and operational requirements using established analytical processes.

Ptflyer thank,though it seems one of them. But it seems almost more a promotion than a description. Besides, I found what I said. I enclose some of their remarried to my specific question about it.
Dear Sirs.
this is what you stated during the event for the presentation of the new FTO. I would like for others to have more news on possible .... for example: start the course, duration, payment, etc. etc.. The more news on possible are welcome. By the way: on your website, talk to trading simulator, on the various models on the market of your company, but not the FTO course, though this was, you just made. I await news on when it will be possible, and please sign it to:
[email protected] private email to which you expose your question.
Ps:
I just wanted to emphasize that I am already holding a 5...h already under my belt. (Think of a few for ATP or CPL (H)), but we try at least. Thanking for answers on which you provide, I offer my best wishes.
forgot ...... I'm Italian.
This is one of their answers:
Hello,
In order to able to respond comprehensively and most responsive to its prerogatives on the training activities offered both as an FTO as TRTO that, we ask you kindly specify the type of training which is concerned as well as send a copy of its license to allow a 'careful analysis of the skills already possessed.
Only when we know the objective trainer has set, we give the requested information.
With the occasion Yours sincerely
not insert the names of those who wrote to me for privacy.
after numerous beat and replies, responses and counter responses, and after having carried out through the many rules jar reference, I replied as follows:
Hello,
Thank you for pointing, interest and information provided to us, but we are sorry to report that, at present, the courses you have requested has already been responsible for training of personnel of those customers which have linked the purchase of helicopters .
Then why, again inquires about, what is for them or TRTO FTO. The answer is the literal translation of acronyms that individual component.
The rest at this point, it's all say. Who to contact and what information request to reach the ATP or CPL (H)
My answers to this question will be like soon.
Someone told me to turn to YOYO, others give up, others to pursue the dream.
You?
P.s. I forgot! My brain, however, does not stop to think several times a day thing, despite a late age.
ONE HEAD IS HARD, WE WANT TO DO ?:ugh:
