Our photos represent aircraft and simulators operated by AWA. Why face-to-face teaching?

About Us:

AWA is an aeronautical training school, operating since 2008. We dedicate our knowledge to the training of Aircraft Pilots and Flight Operations Officers. These courses are approved by the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC), as stated in the Certificates of Approval PT.ATO.005 and P/OOV/03/03.

AWA operates in facilities suitable for training, with 9 classrooms, 1 simulator (of communications) and an Amphitheater with a capacity of 160 seats at the Headquarters alone. This is also where our Safety (SM) and Compliance (CMM) offices and the GAA/PSI (Student Support Office/Psychology) work.

We have an organic fleet of around 25 aircraft that operates from the Cascais airfield, where the facilities meet the highest operational requirements. Come and see the new facilities at Hangar 15 at Cascais Airport (LPCS).

We have a reputed group of employees (see “Our Team”), who are totally focused on their training, to which are added around 40 Flight Instructors and 46 Professors of theoretical subjects.

AWA, after overcoming the difficulties created by the situation – shortage of IPs, is equipped with means (new aircraft, new FNPTII – ALSIM/ALX – approved in JUL/2022) and continues to guarantee the traditional quality training of its students, privileging face-to-face training with resources from dedicated teachers, within the EASA time frame (see ATPL course phase).

We guarantee ATPL training in 18 to 20 months.

At AWA, we continue to assume that student pilots must have a set of characteristics that allow them to enter the profession, and that the prerequisites for enrolling in the course are not enough. Before EASA required it, the AWA already advocated the set attitude/knowledge/performance – (KSA). Count on us to guarantee you high quality training.

We have two options available to candidates for obtaining an airline transport pilot license (ATPL), Integrated or Modular.
