On-Track PPL Ground Studies, the original name for On-Track, was formed in 1997 by
to provide Ground Tuition for the PPL. Over the next few years we expanded our portfolio of training to include UK CAA / JAA Approved Instructor Seminars which have been very popular with instructors in both the UK and Overseas including Ireland, USA, Malta and Europe. The company was renamed in April 2001 as On-Track Aviation Limited and a decision was taken to specialise in training for professional pilot qualifications only. Therefore we do not conduct PPL flight training nor are we a membership organisation. So without these constraints we are able to deliver a friendly, quiet and unrestricted teaching and learning environment for all students on our courses. We are one of only a handfull of FTO's specialising in Part Time Instructor Courses in addition to offering 'First Step' (combined CPL and FI course) for those individuals aiming only to become an instructor. Our Modular CPL courses are taught on a one-to-one basis giving you a huge training advantage over the larger schools. Our company is unique in the UK as it is the only FTO offering Seaplane Instructor Courses on single engine aeroplanes as well as training and testing for the SEP (Sea) Class Rating and the Seamanship Examination. On-Track is the only instructor training organisation outside the military which has written its own comprehensive instructor guide called 'Instructional Techniques for the Flight Instructor'. The authors, Alan Newton and John Halstead, wrote the book as a guide for students attending instructor courses with On-Track Aviation. Moreover, the book has been adopted as a training manual by a number of other flying schools and is recommended reading by the CAA for all categories of instructor. For more information click here Our expertise as an instructor training organisation has been recognised by the CAA as memebers of our staff are regularly involved in the Flight Instructor Course (FIC) Instructor Initial Assessment Interviews which are held at a variety of CAA Regional Test Centres and at On-Track Aviation. In addition, they also conduct the FIC Instructor Proficiency Check which is the final test the FIC instructor applicant is required to pass prior to being authorised. To held prospective applicants On-Track Aviation offers a variety of FIC instructor training programmes. As a corporate member of AOPA (UK) we are able to train and test for the AOPA (UK) Ground Instructor Course which is aimed at anyone who wishes to teach the PPL theoretical knowledge subjects. As alot of our staff have many years of teaching aerobatics, and have been involved in military display flying, we can also offer training and testing for the AOPA (UK) Aerobatic Certificates as well as the Removal of the Aerobatic Instruction Restriction from your instructor rating. We can also offer ground tuition for the AOPA (UK) Navigation Certificate Course.

On-Track is also a training and test centre for the UK FRTOL (Flight Radio Telephony Licence). Our company has developed into a well respected UK CAA / JAA Approved Flying Training Organisation (UK / FTO-244) and has a reputation amongst students for first class training with an above average first time pass rate. Indeed, all the students who have graduated from On-Track courses have quickly gained positions as either flight instructors or pilots within the airline industry.
