Caribbean Aviation Training Center We Teach The World To Fly!
Welcome to Caribbean Aviation Training Center! Thank you for your interest in our flight school. We are happy to provide you with some preliminary information within these few pages about learning to fly and becoming a licensed pilot. However, we strongly encourage you to visit and let us show you around our flight school. Better yet, we invite you to schedule an introductory flight with one of our friendly aircraft instructors for your very own one-on-one discovery flight. This is where you get to actually fly the aircraft under the guidance of our Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) certified instructors. You will actually experience how it feels to maneuver the aircraft through turns, climbs, descents and even landings. You will also get to see and enjoy the fantastic aerial view of the city of Kingston, surrounding foothills and the Kingston Harbour (rated as one of the best natural harbours in the world). Did we mention that this flight also counts as credit towards your Private Pilot Certificate? So what are you waiting for? Don’t miss out on this great opportunity of a lifetime to explore what has always been a realm of intrigue and fascination for people over the centuries. We will be much honored to help you achieve your dream of flying an aircraft and soaring to new heights. We are sure you will have a few questions of your own for us to answer, so please, be sure to read through our FAQ’s on our website and feel free to contact us should you have any further questions to find out how best we can be of help to you.
Flying an aircraft is among one of the most rewarding and exciting experience most people will ever accomplish and the skills and knowledge gained during the training will last a lifetime. Whether you intend to fly for pleasure, business or professionally you will want to ensure that you receive the best possible training and become equipped with the necessary skills to master the art of flying. This is where CATC excels.
Caribbean Aviation Training Center Flight Academy was formed in November 2000 as a flight school dedicated to providing top-notch fixed-wing flight training for Caribbean. Since then, CATC has trained hundreds of pilots now flying for numerous companies throughout North and South America, the Caribbean and even in Europe. In fact, CATC went on to become winner several awards such as the 2006 Cessna Pilot Centers’ “Diamond Award”, the 2007 Cessna Pilot Centers’ “Excellency in Flight Training Award” as well as in 2009 Cessna Pilot Centers “Platinum Award”. These are very prestigious awards that merit the highest performance within a pool of hundreds of Cessna Pilot Training Center schools spread across the globe. In addition to our existing programs, CATC is now proud to offer Rotary Wing (helicopter) flight training as well.
So, whether you are learning to fly for the purpose of traveling with family and/or friends to that unique destination for the weekend, attending a business meeting /seminar with company staff or training for that “captain” position on the airline company of your preference, CATC is more than capable of getting you there. We take great pride in providing our customers with training that is world class. Earning your flight certificates with us guarantees your flying privileges just about everywhere in the world you go.
With a staff of highly trained and competent instructors and almost 365 days per year of great flying weather, our customers enjoys one of the most conducive environments to efficient and accelerated flight training. CATC’s main office is based at Tinson Pen Aerodrome, located in Kingston, Jamaica and is less than 5 minutes by air from the Norman Manley International airport. A short flight across the harbour will make available to our customers all the benefits of flying at a major international airport and offers the accessibility of a radar controlled environment and the necessary infrastructure and equipment for practicing IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) flying. This experience leads to valuable skills and confidence that will enable our students to fly in any of the busier airports found in large metropolitan cities around the world. Usually, this experience and exposure comes at a high premium because of the added cost for flight schools to be based at airports such as this. However, CATC’s ability to operate from a relatively small airport
