We are beyond excited to share the incredible journey of our first group of international students from Burkina Faso, who have now officially graduated from our prestigious Helicopter Flying School! ππ
Over the course of a year filled with dedication and hard work, these eight talented individuals have undergone rigorous training, mastering both the theoretical and practical aspects of helicopter aviation. πβ¨ They have collectively accumulated over 1750 hours of flight time on the renowned Robinson R66 Turbine Helicopter, honing their skills to perfection.
With their achievements, they have earned themselves Private Pilot License, Commercial Pilot License, Instrument, and Night ratings, making them truly versatile and accomplished pilots. β
But their journey didnβt stop at the flight deck. They also embraced the vibrant Nigerian culture and experienced the awe-inspiring beauty of Enugu and its surroundings, creating memories that will last a lifetime. πβ€οΈ
Now, equipped with their newfound expertise and cultural enrichment, they return to their homeland, ready to take on the skies above the land of the upright man. π We couldnβt be prouder of their remarkable accomplishments and the bright future that lies ahead for each of them.
