Hi everyone,
I’m a 26-year-old looking to make a major career pivot into aviation. After doing some research, I’m considering Prince Aviation in Belgrade, Serbia, for my flight training, but I have a few specific questions for those familiar with the European or Balkan flight school scene.
Licensing: Can anyone confirm if the licenses issued are full EASA or ICAO? I want to make sure I understand the conversion process if I decide to work outside of Serbia later.
Training Quality: How is the reputation of the school in terms of instructor quality and fleet maintenance? If you’ve trained there or know someone who has, I’d love to hear about the actual experience "on the ground."
Organization: How efficient are their internal processes (scheduling, ground school coordination, etc.)? Do students often face significant delays?
Global Recognition: Does anyone have insight into how a diploma/license from Prince Aviation is viewed by airlines in the Middle East (UAE, Qatar) or the CIS region?
Alumni: Are there any pilots here who graduated from Prince Aviation and are now flying for commercial airlines?
I’m trying to decide if this is the right move for me, so any information, tips, or "pros and cons" would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
