What students learn
As the first multi-engine platform in the UK Military Flying Training System, the Embraer Phenom 100 prepares students to handle greater complexity and speed. Pilots develop the skills needed to manage twin-engine operations, respond to asymmetric scenarios, and operate confidently at high altitudes. Aviation training also covers airways navigation, formation flying, and crew resource management, laying the groundwork for advanced roles and multi-crew coordination in military aviation.
