What our Graduates say
“I believe that nowadays it is of extreme importance that pilots are trained in aircraft fitted with glass cockpit displays, i.e. the Garmin G1000 system installed in ACS fleet of Twinstars. The technology behind it and the presentation of information is almost identical to what you would find in a commercial airliner. I had never flown an aircraft this technologically advanced before, so I thoroughly enjoyed flying ACS DA42s!”
I have recently completed training at ACS for a Multi Engine Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot License. The quality of training was second to none and my instructors were outstanding, with decades of experience. There has been a great deal of investment in the school in recent times with the addition of a modern Diamond DA42 aircraft and state of the art Alsim42 flight simulator with g1000 ‘glass cockpit’. This, together with an efficient operations department, fantastic training environment and friendly atmosphere make ACS and excellent choice and I’m extremely glad I chose them for my commercial flight training.
The best aviation headset on the market. I have used the Bose A20 noise cancelling headset since commencing my training at ACS Flight Training. The headset has been one of the best investments I have ever made and today, still use this at work as a commercial airline pilot. The A20 is better by far than any other headset that I have owned or tried. The range of adjustment is excellent and the comfort level is superb. Unsurprisingly, the audio quality and noise attenuation is also exceptional. -- Capt Robbie Cockburn -- Former ACS student and Airline Pilot
