iAirlines now require pilot with business skills. The reason being, pilots are only permitted to fly 900 hours per year, however most people work 1800 hours per year. Airlines are looking to utilise pilots in different roles, and therefore want them with business skills as opposed to the more technical skills most pilots currently possess.

Airlines have always had need of a small number of pilots (or any other staff for that matter) to have business skills. And the figure of 900 hours per year relates to actual flying hours. Add in recurrent training, simulator time, and simple things like checking in before the flight and turnarounds between flights, you will easily achieve an annual total of 1600-1800 hours of work per year.

It is for reasons of this common misconception that you need airline managers who have operational experience and actually realise what the raw numbers mean.

Hi all,
Could anybody tell me what finance options DCU can provide in relation to the flight training? I am aware of some partial scholarships offered, but for those needing financial support, is there help provided?

Thanks!

hi dcu are not providing finance to students to do the pilot training aspect that like all flight training is up to the student. i think they are looking to link up with a financial institution for students who may perform very well in the degree and shows competence in the piloting aspect of things whether that be through aptitude tests or not i dont know

and in relation to the partial scholarships there is nothing set in stone or fully agreed with anyone yet and we dont know when there will be or even if that is going to happen so my advice is dont think dcu are going to be able to help with the costs of flight training they arnt come apply to the degree worst thing that can happen is you get a job elsewhere in the industry save for a few years and then go get your licence.

mature students are accepted in to this course but you must have a either leaving cert with the points there asking for or a fetac level 5 in business studies [BBSXX] or international trade [BBSIT] or marketing [BMXXX] if you go the fetac root you must get 5 distinctions in the course

is it possible to transfer from Aviation Technology in DIT to the Aviation management course in DCU. Has anyone done this?

What do the people who choose not to do the flight training as part of the course do for the 4th year?

You continue with different aviation/business modules, as far as I know

Seems like an awful waste of time this....definitely if a being a pilot is your end goal?

Waste 3 years in a classroom in Dublin and then pay for your place in Spain or just pay and go to spain?
