👨✈️ 👩✈️ From first solo to first officer: every day requires the same dedication ✍️, discipline 🫡 and passion ✨ .
🛫 To be a pilot means to be away from home while others celebrate a birthday, to wake up while others are still asleep, to continue concentrating while others would be exhausted and ready to give up, to go through six-monthly exams and assessments while others are taking it easy, to form a new team every day while others enjoy the comfort of knowing who they work with.
✋Being a pilot is not for everyone.
💙 But for those who are ready to make sacrifices, put in the hard work and enjoy the challenge, we are there to train them.
🥹 Seeing our graduates join their first airline, transition to widebody and longhaul operations, become a captain, star in a great .be tv show about , or join Skywings again as an instructor, is always a moment of absolute pride.
🙏 To all our instructors, students an graduates: Happy International Pilot’s day.

🇧🇪 Welcome in OO-SKT! Skywing’s latest addition to the fleet: a Da42 VI Twin engine training aicraft that will eventually replace our older Twin Star, OO-SKW.
*
🤫 This newer generation aircraft is more performant but also a lot more silent than its predecessors. Therefor, the aircraft can be used for touch and go training in , a major advantage compared to older versions.
*
🌩️ The aircraft also has a weather radar, enabling it to better navigate en-route weather on longer flights, and enabling our students to learn how to operate this equipment as well.
*
🙏 Welcome in the fleet OO-SKT! To many happy landings (and touch and go’s in Antwerp)!
