CTC TAKEOFF WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Since CTC Aviation launched its inaugural CTC TAKEOFF professional pilot training course in June 2011, hundreds of aspiring airline pilots have passed through our doors - and up to the flight deck.
It’s not only our industry-recognised training standards – this year we have witnessed a 98% first series Instrument Rating pass rate by our modular trainees – it is also the flexible training options we offer and most of all, the highly sought after Partner airline placement opportunities that make CTC TAKEOFF an obvious route to the flight deck for many. Through CTC Aviation’s selection and resourcing body CTC FLEXICREW, CTC TAKEOFF graduates have been placed with a number of CTC Aviation’s Partner airlines. CTC TAKEOFF pilots are now flying the line with airlines around the world including the likes of Jet 2, Flybe, easyJet, Cathay Pacific and BA CityFlyer. We caught up with First Officer and CTC TAKEOFF graduate Dan Bertorelli. Dan graduated from CTC Aviation in December 2014 and is now flying the line for our longstanding Partner airline, easyJet. What did you think of your training through CTC TAKEOFF?
airlines. This was fantastic for my development, experience building and learning some tricks of the trade. It was also run very much like an airline with rosters and report times.
had to complete my biannual tech exam and I’m currently preparing for my six month simulator check. I am really enjoying myself at easyJet and looking forward to a lot of flying in the up and coming summer.
How has it prepared you for your airline pilot career?
CTC TAKEOFF offers you the opportunity to complete your professional pilot training, all the while keeping flexibility in mind. Our full time integrated CPL/IR and part or full time modular options enable anyone to benefit from the high quality training CTC Aviation has to offer. With CTC TAKEOFF you may also be eligible to apply for airline placement and benefit from our airline partner relationships and industry renowned placement service.
The training through CTC TAKEOFF prepared me for the airline environment; it laid the foundations for further learning with easyJet. CTC Aviation also runs interview preparation days which helped me significantly when it came to my interview with easyJet. How did CTC Aviation help you get your airline placement?
Once I obtained my CPL/ IR, I completed selection which included CTC Aviation’s AQC (Airline Qualification Course). Two months of training later I entered the airline placement pool where I was updated on airline opportunities over the seven months that followed. When an easyJet opportunity arose, I completed an application supplied by CTC Aviation and was invited to interview – the rest is history! Honestly, CTC Aviation was the key to finding me an airline placement. Their airline relationships really break down the barriers to entry faced by many newly qualified pilots.

Your life today?
The training environment was very professional and airline orientated, which is exactly what I wanted from a training organisation. During the final, more advanced phases of training I was instructed by airline pilots, some having retired and some still working for
There is never a “regular day” at work so to speak, which is fantastic and keeps you on your toes. There is no time to just take a back seat and relax however. Time has flown by (pun intended) and already I have
