Global Airline Academy Florida
Hi everyone,
I'm from Europe but thinking of looking at the States for pilot training now since it seems cheaper and I've had a hard a time getting funds for my training despite getting into a flight school. I was on Pilot Career News the other day and stumbled across an article about a partnership between Global Airline Academy and Aeros Group UK.
Does anyone have any experience with Global Airline Academy. Off work today and plan on applying to them.

TBH I haven't heard of them before the partnership announcement, some of our Florida correspondents might be able to add something. They look like primarily a heli school called USATS Why USATS? Aviation Career | US Aviation Training Solutions with a new FW offshoot called Global Airline Academy. If you want to train partly in the US may I suggest you also look at BCFT https://www.bcft.aero/ ? Good, long standing, reputation and they use FIT in Melbourne stateside.

Check the EASA list of approved overseas ATOs:

Also keep an eye on the ones who are no longer EASA approved:

Keep in mind you can't do the full instrument rating outside Europe. You'll need to do the flying part of in within European airspace. The schools can help you with this. You can go as far as CPL and multi engine in the states, but some of the IR will have to be done back home.
I did some hour building in Pilots Paradise in Sebastian, FL who are a good crowd to deal with. Their EASA instructors are from the UK and Spain.
They also have a connection with European Flight Training in Fort Pierce who have a good reputation too. I'm not sure what the employment prospects are like for their trainees, I know in the past some airlines turned their noses up a little towards US trained pilot and preferred those who stay in Europe. Not sure if that's as much the case now.
