Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Initial Pilot Training Courses
145 / 5 000
Is there an age limit for candidates to apply for the course?
Yes, there is. The candidate must be at least 18 and no older than 32 years old.
Is there a restriction on female admission to the courses?
There are no restrictions. However, at the moment, admission of females to training is not planned, due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure for the simultaneous presence of women and men in the process of flight training. In the future, the necessary conditions will be created and women will be considered as candidates for training.
What language will be used in the learning process?
All issues of the functioning of global civil aviation are regulated by the international organization ICAO, of which the Republic of Uzbekistan is a member. The official languages of ICAO are:
Russian, English, French, Spanish. Arabic and Chinese are considered the working languages of ICAO. They are used to a limited extent in the work of the ICAO Council and its permanent bodies, at Assembly sessions and major specialized conferences and meetings. ICAO unites more than 180 states.
The initial pilot training courses will use textbooks and computer training programs in English. Consultations with teachers will be available in Russian and English.
Is it possible to enroll in courses after graduating from a foreign university with full-time or part-time education?
Graduates of any higher education institution (bachelors and masters) with a technical profile may be candidates for initial training as a pilot, provided that the diploma of completion has passed the recognition and nostrification procedures established in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Is it possible to enroll in courses with a diploma of higher education from a foreign university with subsequent nostrification in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan?
No. The candidate’s documents will be accepted only if they have a diploma that has undergone the established recognition and nostrification procedures.
Is it possible to complete the initial pilot training courses in parallel with studying at another university?
No. The training requires full-time employment and cannot be combined with studies or work in other organizations. In addition, the candidate must have completed higher education in a technical field.
Is it possible to have unacceptable diseases at the beginning of the studies that will be treated during the course of the studies?
No. The pilot’s profession requires impeccable health and no deviations from the established health requirements are allowed.
Can persons who do not have citizenship of the Republic of Uzbekistan study on the courses?
No. This option is not available at the moment.
Can a man who does not have a military ID issued by the relevant structures of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Uzbekistan enroll in the courses?
No. Having a military ID is a mandatory condition for accepting documents from a candidate.
There was information that the selection and training of pilots will be carried out only from among aviation personnel. Is this true?
Yes, indeed, according to the requirements of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated July 19, 2017 No. 524, training courses for civil aviation pilots from among aviation personnel with higher technical education must be organized on the basis of the Educational and Training Center LLC. However, each candidate who successfully passes the selection will be a student of the courses to subsequently receive the “Certificate of a Civil Aviation Pilot of the Republic of Uzbekistan”. According to another Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers dated September 4, 2002 No. 313, “candidates for obtaining flight specialty certificates” are classified as aviation personnel of civil and experimental aviation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Therefore, successful completion of all stages of selection for initial training as a pilot will mean the candidate’s enrollment in courses at the Educational and Training Center and temporary, until receiving a pilot’s certificate, inclusion in the aviation personnel.
What examination tests will candidates take?
The candidate will be required to present a certificate confirming the level of English IELTS with a result of not less than 6.0. There will also be written exams in physics, mathematics and Russian.
Is employment guaranteed for a course graduate at Uzbekistan Airways JSC?
If the candidate successfully completes the full course of study and meets the medical requirements, he/she will be employed by the airline. In the event of unsatisfactory grades in any exams or if the candidate’s health deteriorates, the candidate will be expelled from the course and the amount spent on training will be recovered from him/her in court.
How much will it cost a candidate to take the courses?
Students who successfully complete the courses and are employed by the airline will not pay for their training. In the event of dismissal from the airline before the established term (5 years) is completed, the candidate will pay the full cost of training.
Is it possible to take courses at your own expense, so as not to have financial or other obligations to JSC Uzbekistan Airways?
The option of contract-based training is still being worked out, as the courses are being created to meet the airline’s own needs for flight personnel.
Will the course completion certificate be recognized by foreign airlines?
In Civil Aviation all over the world, a Pilot’s Certificate or License is required to work for an airline. The Aviation Administrations of the states are engaged in issuing such documents. Regardless of which flight training institution you graduated from, the Aviation Administration will require you to prove that your diploma of completion of flight training was issued legally. After accepting such evidence, you will need to pass state exams and confirm your medical certificate according to the rules of the state where you are going to work. Only if you have a Pilot’s Certificate issued on behalf of the state in which the airline you are interested in is registered, you can be a candidate for employment in it. However, even with a Pilot’s Certificate, reputable Airlines, as a rule, arrange separate theoretical and practical exams for applicants.
Will out-of-town students be able to take the courses?
There are no restrictions on the region of residence in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Will hostel accommodation be provided to non-residents?
There are no plans to provide housing to students.
How long does the course last?
The training course is divided into three modules:
Module 1: theoretical training – duration 1 year;
Module 2: theoretical, simulator and flight training on the initial training aircraft An-2 – 3.5 months;
Module 3: theoretical, simulator and flight training on the graduation aircraft Il-114 or Airbus 320 – 4 months;
Final exams – 1 month.
Total: 20-22 months (the course may be extended due to bad weather).
Will the students be provided with a uniform?
Uniforms will be provided to course graduates after they are employed by the airline.
Will students be paid a stipend?
No.
Will out-of-town course participants be provided with a free air ticket? How often will they be able to get a ticket?
Air tickets will be provided to the students at full cost. The right to a free air ticket will be granted to course graduates after receiving the required length of service in the airline.
Can a student be expelled for not being able to fly?
Unfortunately, in the history of flight training there are cases when a person, due to his natural characteristics, is not given the opportunity to learn how to fly an airplane. This happens when the student has problems with the vestibular apparatus or hidden deficiencies in vision, hearing, etc.
