About

Quality Fly is a flight academy based in Cuatro-Vientos airport, Madrid. The academy holds a highly international profile with 100% English training and students of more than 35 different nationalities. Quality Fly is committed to operational perfection with a brand-new fleet, professional management, fully digital processes, and effective systems, allowing the school to offer high-quality training while maintaining a highly competitive price.

New Airline Pilot Training Program

The academy's Integrated ATPL has been designed to ensure the highest level of competency to fly in the most demanding airlines across the world and to prepare the students for real-life circumstances.

The new program includes not only the latest and future EASA requirements, such as KSA, Advanced UPRT, CBTA, and TEM, but also innovates including:

  • 40 hours of APS MCC in an AIRBUS 320 FFS LEVEL D. This APS MCC doubles the hours of a standard MCC, greatly increasing the preparation for an airline simulator assessment
  • Gliding - 3 flights of Basic Gliding in their training program, as well as theory classes. It is becoming more and more common for airlines to add gliding sessions to their training structures in order to improve handling skills, thus counteracting the automation effect
  • Training is orientated to airline requirements, with a focus on soft skills complementing technical skills, following ICAO Core competencies
  • Unlimited access to a controlled training simulator
  • 100% in new generation glass cockpit fleet with highest environmental respect with consumption up to 50% lower than the equivalent old fleet
  • Night flights in a multi-engine airplane
  • End-to-end follow-up including one-to-one reinforcement training and Career Advice preparation

Why the EASA License?

The most recognized License by Aviation Authorities throughout the world. Thanks to its higher standards
compared to the FAA License and more reliable student tracking records, Aviation Authorities tend to prefer to hire EASA license holders.

FAA requires a mínimum 1500 flight hours to work as First Officer in an Airline in many countries, such as the US. However, EASA holders have no limitation to fly as First Officers in any Airline after the completion of the ATPL Integrated course, with a minimum of a total 220 hours.

      Coming from the United States, I invested considerable time into researching and finding the European Flight School that would best suit my professional goals - from quality of education, training efficiency, location, to cost. QualityFly stood out far ahead of the 9 other schools that I researched and connected with. They promote a friendly atmosphere amongst the students, instructors, and staff - where the learning process is enjoyable and highly efficient. There is a genuine sense of family at QualityFly - that extends to ensuring that each student fully understands the lessons and receives the individual attention they need and deserve. I feel extremely fortunate to have chosen QualityFly, and can recommend this Flight School wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

      I had dificult experiences with other aviation academies. Going to QUALITYFLY, from the first day I was in, I felt "this one will be better" and thankfully it was. So glad to be part of it, they took me in and were so assertive to me. I am not the type of writing reviews, but you guys really desirve it.

      Ivan Pérez

      From day one they help you achieve your goal. The environment is unbeatable, multicultural and healthy. Well-run school and workers at the service of the students. Congratulations

      Quality Fly is a professional and well known Flight Academy in Cuatro Vientos for the high quality of their services and their well prepared and qualified ground and flight instructors and their modern fleet. I believe it is one of the best choices to enjoy a quality education at a reasonable price if you want to become a pilot in an integrated or modular course in Spain. If you visit the main office, the staff is always kind and explicative. No doubts about the school. If you need/want to analyze/test this yourself, go and meet them (office staff and instructors), it's the best way to evaluate it! ;)

      Pablo M.

      To me, the best school of Madrid Cuatro Vientos, and probably of Spain. Brand new fleet, experienced instructors and the most important part to me: staff always available and ready to help. This is not something every school of LECU can presume of. As one of the first modular student of the school, I must say organization and coordination has always been professional and it is without any doubt that I would recommend this school to everyone.

      Iulian Mavru

      I have been an ATPL student in Quality Fly and I must say that I had a great experience here, If you work hard you can get the ATPL quickly and they will always help you in everything you need. I have found a job in one of Europe major airline in less than 6 mounts after finishing my ATPL expending much less that on most of the others flight schools so I think that Quality Fly was the right choice.

      • Situation awareness training
      • Complacency awareness development

      3. Optimal Duration

      The sooner our candidates become holder of an Airline Transport Pilot License the sooner they will join an airline as a First Officer and thus, the sooner hey will get a return on their investment. Quality Fly is one of the few organizations in
      Europe authorised by EASA for the 20 months ATPL course. Thanks to our optimal weather operations base, new and surplus fleet, straight tothe-point syllabus and our well trained team, these are just some of the reasons to join our accelerated courses.

      6.End-to-end Coaching

      Because the path from first opening your book to facing the professional airline industry can be long and arduous, we closely follow and coach each of our students - starting from the first day of school to the final preparations for securing employment.
      Our instructors track student progress continuously with regular meetings and one-on-one coaching to prevent any deviation from the expected performance path.
