In aviation, technical skills and knowledge are crucial, but so is the mind behind the controls.

Psychological fitness plays a vital role in a pilot’s performance. It includes decision-making, stress management, situational awareness, and emotional regulation. All are essential when flying in high-pressure environments.

To obtain an EASA pilot license, candidates must pass an EASA Class 1 medical, which includes a psychological assessment. It ensures that pilots are not only physically fit but also mentally prepared for the demands of the cockpit.

At our base in Cyprus, our students complete their required medical assessments right here, making the journey towards becoming a licensed pilot both streamlined and supported.

If you’d like to learn more about training with us or the EASA requirements, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help you take off.
