01 Overview
The FlyBy Cadet Program is the academy's integrated ATPL course with a flight instructor rating and a 12 month instructor contract at FlyBy, sold as a single enrolment. FlyBy publishes a total duration of 29 months in three phases: the 14 month ATPL Integrated Program, a 3 month flight instructor course of 30 flight hours and 130 classroom hours, and a 12 month flight instructor contract with FlyBy itself.
The third phase is a 12 month flight instructor contract at FlyBy, on conditions FlyBy sets; the school does not say whether it is paid. According to FlyBy's Cadet Program page (flybyschool.com), the contract carries a minimum of 330 instructional flight hours and is intended to bring a cadet to up to 600 total flight hours by the end of the programme. About 12 of the 29 months are the instructor contract rather than training.
