Skyborne’s vision is to be the most respected and trusted commercial pilot training academy in the industry, supplying airlines with the best pilots.

We are fully committed to developing a dynamic, engaging and welcoming environment for the next generation of airline pilots to hone their skills.

Skyborne Opportunity:

Based at our Fair-Weather location in Castellon, Spain, you will be working alongside other experienced Flight Instructors to deliver the second phase of our Integrated programme, core flight training, in our single-engine piston DA40 aircraft. Unlike most flight training schools, Skyborne cadet’s flight training will begin after 16 weeks, rather than the usual seven months. This supports our Progressive Continuous Learning method which focuses on ensuring Cadets are always developing their talents and absorbing new skills from our vastly experienced instructors.

Skyborne’s Castellon base opened in 2019 and has excellent facilities that have been developed to the highest standard, offering the right balance between training and self-motivated learning.
