Falcon 900LX Captain at Fort Aero
"Soon after starting my career in aviation, I realized that I had taken with me from EAVA much more than what was written in all the books. It was real-life experience and expertise that was passed onto me by the lecturers and instructors who in fact were hands-on hard-core aviation enthusiasts. That's something you can't read from a book."

"As a pilot I know that every take-off is optional. Every landing is mandatory. Education from the Estonian Aviation Academy helped me to understand the bigger picture of how things work in the aviation business."
