Sri Lankan Cadet program
 

Gday dudes

Just wondering what the cadet programs like.
What kind of training do you undergo?
Which endorsements do you get in the end (A320?) ?
Where is the training undertaken?
How many pilots do they usually take in during every intake?
How long does each batch take to graduate?

any help will be much appreciated
thanks and merry xmas newagebird

When??
 

Newagebird,

From what i've heard, the theory training is undertaken in Sri Lanka and simulator training in Singapore. The number of pilots taken in each intake varies. There has not been a set number recently. On average it takes about 9 -12 months to complete the training. As for the other questions, I'm not so sure. Hope this info was helpful.

But at the moment, I think the most important question is when Sri Lankan is going to advertise for cadets again???
