Fujairah Aviation Academy

Fujairah Aviation Academy trains pilots and aircraft engineers at Fujairah International Airport. The academy has been in operation since 1986. It is the first aviation academy in the UAE. It offers pilot training, engineering training, licensing exams, and aircraft maintenance services. The campus sits where the Hajar mountains meet the Gulf of Oman.

The academy provides fixed wing pilot training courses. Students can earn a Private Pilot License, Commercial Pilot License, or complete the ATPL Integrated programme. Ground school classes take place in classrooms beside the flight line. Students practise procedures and emergencies in a flight simulator before they fly. Flight training moves from first solo to cross country and skill tests. Graduates receive a GCAA pilot licence.

The fleet includes Cessna 172 aircraft with Garmin G1000 glass cockpits or conventional six pack instruments. The academy also operates Diamond DA40 and DA42 aircraft. All training happens beside the runway at Fujairah International Airport. Facilities include classrooms, exam rooms, a library, an operations room, a simulator, hangars, and engineering workshops. Three aircraft types support the training.

The engineering college is a Part 147 maintenance training organisation. It is approved by the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority and EASA. The academy also runs an English Language Proficiency test centre. It is approved to conduct CAR 66 and Part 66 basic examinations for engineers.

The academy holds CAR 145 approval for aircraft maintenance. Engineers service airframes, engines, electrical systems, and components. The maintenance workshops include avionics and battery shops. The team maintains Cessna 172, Cessna 208, Diamond, and Robinson R44 II aircraft. The academy also provides continuing airworthiness management under its CAMO approval.
