News, events and schools' information for families across Bristol

Europe’s premier flight training event, Pilot Careers Live, is back on 9 April 2022. Returning to the Sofitel London Heathrow at Terminal 5, visitors can book online now to join. This year’s event will mirror the last sell-out show, by being split into two four-hour sessions, one in the morning (9am-1pm) and the other in the afternoon (1pm-5pm).

Pilot Careers Live is aimed at secondary school pupils to young adults and is the best place to find out everything that an aspiring pilot needs to know about a professional flying career. There will be seminars covering essential subjects for anybody thinking about training as a pilot, from training providers, potential employers and industry experts. These will be 20 minutes each and repeated in both sessions.

Visitors can talk to approved training organisations and cadet pilots

All avenues of pilot training will be covered, with visitors able to talk to the Approved Training Organisations and airlines face to face to ask them all the questions you may have. Visitors can also meet cadet pilots currently in training as well as recently graduated pilots either in their first job or looking for one.

A full seminar programme is available through the day

Great support has already been received from organisations like CAE, L3 Harris, Skyborne, FTA Global the Royal Air Force and many more. There will be interactive exhibits to give visitors an idea of how aptitude tests are conducted, as well as Pooley’s Flight Equipment, selling all the items needed to begin training.
