Synthetic Flight Instructor

Our Business Aviation Training Division is expanding its global network to Central Europe with a new training centre in Vienna, Austria.

The centre will deploy the first Bombardier Global 7500 full-flight simulator (FFS) in Europe, making pilot training on this popular aircraft type more accessible and convenient for operators in the region. 

We are looking for Full Time, Permanent Instructors (SFI’s) to be based on the Global 7500, Global 6000 Vision and Phenom. The new 8,000-square-metre, state of the art facility will have space for expansion with a capacity for up to nine FFSs and will be purpose-built to deliver the most advanced pilot training experience in Central Europe.

Come grow with us, while we make Business Pilot Training more accessible in Central Europe!
