The Complete Package
WillowAir are committed 100% to provide approved FAA Training & Testing - we do not dabble in maintenance, avionics, insurance (as with some other establishments/individuals) - we try to offer good quality training at its best and as affordable as possible. We use our own premises for training (we do not share with others or use other persons establishments).
WillowAir is in a unique position to offer Training in the UK for all FAA Examinations and Licences. We can recommend and arrange a package to suit the individual from the basic PPL to ATP with IR. Training can be completed in the UK. We are able to provide full Ground and Flight Training with our dual qualified instructors and then arrange for testing in the USA or here in the UK (we have a visiting DPE that can now flight test for all qualifications on a regular basis).
ALL VISITING FAA/DPE's ARE AUTHORISED BY THE NEW YORK IFO TO CONDUCT TESTS FOR US.
We can also assist with Visa applications (where necessary), accommodation locally, and provide advice or consultation on most aviation matters.
Training from the FAA/PPL to FAA Multi, FAA CPL, FAA ATP, FAA Single and Multi IR requires an FAA approved instructor.
WillowAir will accompany all Students, that prefer to be tested in the USA, to our Approved Testing Centre in Florida to ensure appropriate supervision and levels are maintained. We can arrange your accommodation and accompany you from the accommodation to the airport, introduce you to the US Instructors and Examiners and remain with you to make your visit as pleasurable and constructive as possible. You are required to fly for at least 3 hours in the US to make yourself familiar with the airport and traffic patterns.

A 'letter of authenticity' is now mandatory before any examinations can be taken. The examiner requires payment prior to the date of the test/examination. In the event that there are problems with your paperwork or oral the test fee will be forfeited.
