Probably not - as far as tax legislation goes, Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom are two seperate countries!
If you registered for VAT in RoI, you could only reclaim VAT incurred in that country. If you registered in UK (where you would be incurring the VAT), you would need to be self-employed/freelance there in order to be charging the VAT on your invoices to clients.
If it is your plan to be self-employed as a pilot in the UK (and UK resident), then yes, you can but if you plan to return to RoI after your IR, then no.

It's very common for non-UK residents to set up a UK Ltd company, most of the time due to the fact the there is no set minimum amount of value of the shares that are needed for the incorporation (e.g. £1 is sufficient and you are still not personally liable. This company can be run in any EC country).
If your Irish company is registered for VAT in Ireland you can reclaim VAT on training made in the UK. Have a look here.

I believe a third alternative is that you register a company in Ireland and then register for VAT in the UK. However, I believe the alternative as of above is the best one.
