About us
Our History
Established in 1981 in Grimbergen - Belgium, BFS started its life as a registered facility for private pilots. With a limited fleet of airplanes and students, the school moved to Charleroi airport a few years later in order to expand its activities. In 2004, BFS became a fully certified European FTO (Flight Training Organisation) and started to offer the complete airline pilot training. The organization is approved by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authorities (BCAA) and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) to train pilots (from the private pilot to the airline pilot) under the actual European regulation (EASA / JAR-FCL).

Today BFS has become one of the largest FTO in Belgium, with the most important volume of st students, instructors and aeroplanes. Since the 1 of July 2008, BFS became a member of BFG (Belgian Flight Group) along with BFM (Belgian Flight Maintenance) and BFH (Belgian Flight Handling). In 2011, we trained more than 100 students in our two different campuses, with more than 50 fully certified flight instructors and 20 administrative & operational managers / support staff.

Our parent company

BFG (Belgian Flight Group) was born in July 2008, when BFS and the well-known real estate company Wilhelm & Co joined their strengths to become Belgiums leading aviation services provider, through its different subsidiaries. BFG common denominator is aviation, from ab-initio pilot training (BFS) to aircraft maintenance & repair (BFM), business aviation services (BFH & BFO), and aviation consultancy (BFC). BFG has built up some strong partnerships with internationally recognized companies, in order to extend the number of services offered across the world.

Training Training centres

Brussels Belgium South Charleroi Airport Our main training centre is located at the airport of Charleroi Brussels South. This airport is internationally known for its stunning development, especially during the last couple of years, and its high traffic density. A lot of new airline companies have decided to open hubs on this airport, thanks to its strategic geographic position and equipment. The airport, licensed by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authorities and European Rulemaking Agency has 2 opposite runways (25/07) fully lighted and equipped for instruments procedures and commercial operations (ILS, NDB, VOR, DME). Students will share the runway with commercial jets and other general aviation traffic. Located in the heart of Belgium and in the heart of Europe, airline pilot students will be trained in one of the worlds most complex airspace, almost entirely controlled and severely organised. Weather conditions will give us the opportunity to reach one of the highest levels in instruments rating and professional pilot training. With a brand new airline style flight operations and flight planning centre, our facilities are perfectly equipped to provide student pilots with all the necessary tools to learn and complete their training effectively and efficiently using the very last technology.

OrlandoOrlando-Sanford Intl (USA)

Thanks to our partnership with Aerosim Flight Academy, we also operate on the international airport of Orlando-Sanford, in central Florida (USA). Our location provides perfect weather for year-round flying as well as the opportunity for students to explore many of the nearby world-famous tourist attractions. The Class C Orlando/Sanford International Airport has an FAA control tower on airport property and four runways with the main runway being 9,600 x 150 ft. Other facilities include Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), GPS Approaches, High Intensity Runway Lighting, a Non-Directional Beacon, a modern terminal with complete ground handling equipment, an AWOS weather reporting system and many other enhancements. As a part of our Integrated Training program, BFS students will be spending up to 5 months in Sanford, performing the complete VFR training program, leading to the delivery of the FAA Private Pilot License, in one of the most airline oriented environment. Housing, transportation and food are provided on site. Our Modular students will also be able to enjoy Floridas sunny weather during their Time Building module, as we offer special packages on Aerosims aircrafts. A one-month program with 100 hours of flight time is available upon completion of the PPL module. The Academy is comprised of four main buildings: the Academics Building, the Administration Building, the Simulation and Maintenance Building, and the Operations Center. The Academics Building consists of seven (7) multimedia equipped classrooms. All classes are taught by full-time Academic Instructors. One classroom is arranged to accommodate 34 students and the remaining six classrooms can accommodate 24 students.

simulators Our simulators

BFS uses two modern simulators built by the Swiss company ELITE, known for the quality and reliability of its material. These devices will be used mainly for the instrument rating training. Each student will spend between 40 and 50 hours in the simulator, learning instruments procedures.

Capable and accurate flying on flight instruments is a primary skill expected of an airline pilot. The significant investment in high fidelity simulators reflects our commitment to providing high standards in the delivery of instruments rating. Our simulator, certified under the actual JAR-FSTD regulation, is a generic cockpit designed to reproduce a standard environment close to the airplanes used for flight training. Although this tool is primarily used for instruments training, the 120 wrap-around visual system allows the student to practice visual circuits and other VFR exercises. Changing from single engine aeroplane flight model to multi engine aeroplane flight model takes only a few seconds. The central console and instruments panel is easily interchangeable.

Introduction Int
Why becoming an airline pilot?
Airline pilot is a common way to talk about a professional or commercial pilot. Whether your dream is to fly at 30.000 feet above the ground, approaching the speed of sound, across the oceans and continents, your career will be traced with regular airline companies. Either for a passenger / charter carrier or for a cargo company, the regular airline pilot works with a monthly defined roster, divided into duty, stand-by and off periods. If this is your dream, then you should start our integrated airline pilot program right now!

Are you looking for adventure and thrill? Then you deserve to become a professional pilot. Flying across the world at the controls of a business jet, or flying over savannas and forests for a humanitarian company may become your daily business.

In both ways, your dream is our passion and your career, our goal!
The increasing demand of flight travel is a fact. The need of pilots will increase through the years and the European licences are now the most wanted certificates across the planet.

Hereunder, you will get an overview of our new integrated airline pilot program. This brand new program has been developed and created in order to meet todays airlines standards and demand, in a close partnership with Aerosim Flight Academy

FAQ
Q1: What are the pre-entry requirements to the airline pilot program? You have to be at least 17 years old, hold a high school certificate (or equivalent level of education) and take the class 1 medical examination. If you are a non-European citizen, you also have to hold a valid VISA, or a permit to stay for the duration of your training. In addition to this, candidates for the Integrated program have to pass the selection tests at the school (COMPASS & Psychological profile), in order to ensure that you will meet all the knowledge and competency requirements. Q2: Is it important to have good knowledge of Mathematics and physics? It certainly is an advantage, but the level of secondary school is sufficient. There is no need for you to take special classes in math and physics before commencing the course. We also include brush up courses in math and physics at the beginning of the ATPL ground course. Q3: What about English? English is, as you can imagine, one of the most important requirements related to the pilots training and career! A good knowledge of English is mandatory before the beginning of the course and will be subject to a personal evaluation. It is important to say that most of the courses are given in English, and all the study material is in English as well. Q4: What is the difference between the integrated and the modular program? The integrated program is an all-inclusive, non-stop going training program that takes you all the way from zero, up to the doors of the airlines through 4 training phases. The program is more intensive and more structured than in modular and it generally takes a little bit less time than in Modular. The modular program is more known for the comfort of the training process. The program is divided into 9 modules. Each module focuses on a specific amount of requirements (theory & practices) and allows the candidate to spread his training according to his own personal and financial resources. Q5: Why is a part of the Integrated program performed in Florida? Is it the same in Modular? Since the integrated program is an intensive course, it is important to keep a continuous flow within the training program, especially with the flight hours. Florida is one of the best regions in the world for flight training. The weather and the airspace make it a perfect environment for the primary phases of flight. This is why all the integrated candidates will spend approximately 4 months there. Of course, the fact that they will be fully immerged in an English speaking environment is another advantage. The actual regulations prohibits modular students from performing training outside the JAA countries, but they are allowed to perform time building anywhere in the world. Therefore, we have developed some specific time building packages for our modular students, allowing them to spend 1 month there, and build up about 100 hours of flight time as Pilot In Command. Q6: How long is the validity of the license and ratings? A typical license is valid for a period of 5 years and is renewed automatically; if the candidate can prove to the authority that he still hold at least one current rating and a medical certificate. The Medical Certificate (class 1) has to be renewed every year (under 40) and every 6 months (over 40) Finally, most of the ratings are valid for a period of 1 year and are renewed by passing an skill test with an examiner (although a refresher training is not mandatory before a skill test, it is highly recommended). The Single Engine rating is valid for a period of 2 years. Q7: Can I apply in all the European countries with my license? The licenses and ratings delivered upon completion of the training are known as JAA (Joint Aviation Authorities), and soon will be known as EASA. It means that they are recognized by all the European countries, but even outside Europe! Most of the countries of Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa do recognize and accept JAA licenses. In other words, upon completion of your training, you will be able to apply almost all over the world!

Integrated January 2012

Q8: Why is the airline pilot training so expensive? There are several reasons that can explain the price of the airline pilot training. One of the most important factors that has an impact on the price of the training is the fuel (aviation fuel, known as AVGAS is about 2/L, with an average fuel consumption of 25 to 30 liters per hour). Other factors are the numerous taxes and royalties that operators have to pay in the aviation industry, as well as maintenance costs, personnel, certification fees, etc. Then, you also have to keep in mind that quality has a price and this is the mean explanation to the differences between flight schools. Taking the cheapest flight school is not the best thing to do. Remember, this training is an investment on your career. You need to compare the facilities, the tools, the quality of the staff and the infrastructure offered! Q9: What about the insurance coverage? Our students are covered during their whole program under our general liability insurance. In addition to this, we also provide a specific student pilot insurance that covers the definitive loss of their medical certificate as well as death at a capital of 110.000. See our brochures for more details. Q10: Are there any financing solutions available? We do work closely with a few banks that offer specific financing options for student pilots under certain conditions. Unfortunately, there is currently no official funds for candidates willing to undergo a complete training program and the options offered by the banks are restricted to Belgian nationals. Q11: Do I really get a job upon completion of my training? Obviously, we cannot guarantee you a job, because of the unpredictability of the industry and the neutrality that the local airlines have to keep regarding the different flight schools. But we have been able to place our pilots in several airlines and we do have agreements with some of them to offer guaranteed interviews to our students. Remember, you do not have to focus only on the local airlines. Some regions of the world are desperately looking for pilots and the phenomenon will increase in the future! Q12: What if I dont get a job after one year? Well, its quite simple actually You only have to take a skill test in the twin engine, once per year, in order to renew your license and your ratings. Q13: I am not from Europe; can I enroll your program? Of course, if you meet all the requirements related to the selected program! Refer to the International Section of our website regarding the VISA requirements. Q14: How can I enroll one of the programs? For our integrated program: 1. 2. Apply for the initial class 1 medical examination at the aeronautical medical office in Brussels (refer to the application form located at the end of our brochure).

Technical specifications of COMPASS

EPSTs selection system COMPASS consists of three Parts which can run as a series of modules but we suggest that they are run as three parts in order to provide the candidate with a break between the Parts. The COMPASS tests are all done on a PC and the results are instantly available after the test has been completed and the data has been submitted to the EPST Selection Server for analysis. Our COMPASS system is developed to select ab-initio candidate pilots. This version is mainly used by FTOs. We also have Advanced-COMPASS which is to select already trained pilots. This version is used by Airlines and TRTOs. The COMPASS tests measure the following competences: COMPASS Part 1 Eye-hand-foot coordination Technical comprehension (physics questions) Short memory Mental arithmetic Spatial Orientation Multi Tasking COMPASS Part 2 - English for aviation - Verbal Reasoning COMPASS Part 3 (CPP) - Personality Profile (CPP). This looks at the following competences: o Resilience Empathy o Stress tolerance Altruism o Impulse control Teamwork o Ambition Need for variation o Accuracy Openness o Perseverance Assertiveness o Autonomy Dominance o Persuasiveness Dominance This Checklist Personal Profile tool has been developed by the Institute of Aviation psychology and EPST has the sole distribution rights of this tool in order to add a personality profile assessment to its COMPASS system. The results of the above tests are instantly available after the candidate has completed the tests. All tests are in English. The duration of the tests, including some breaks, is 4 hours maximum.
