Overview
Aerowest's OCC Pilot Trainee Programme combines an initial year in operational control with a planned transition to cockpit duties. During the first nine to twelve months, the trainee learns flight planning, fuel management, airport and handling coordination, customer support, and crew travel planning. A type rating on the Cessna 425 Conquest, or another aircraft required by the operation, follows that OCC phase. The later flying assignment covers executive charter and air-ambulance missions across Europe and beyond. Prior commercial flying experience is expressly not required.
