Aviation: Training
(asked on 3rd July 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many pilots were trained in the UK in each of the last three years.
This question was answered on 10th July 2018
The table below shows the number of pilots who had an initial UK licence issued each year according to the Civil Aviation Authority’s records.
Year Number of pilots.
2015 3670
2016 3609
2017 4193
Figures for the number of pilots trained in the UK are not available. Applicants for a UK pilot’s licence are not necessarily trained in the UK, and many pilots come to the UK for training but will have a licence issued by their own national aviation authority.
