Build your hours differently with the new-generation Elixir in Spain. Modern glass cockpit, two-day familiarisation training and the option of an experienced safety pilot — because hour building should be about gaining experience, not just filling a logbook.

Every pilot needs hours. Whether your goal is an airline career, a CPL, or simply becoming a more confident private pilot, there is one thing every licence progression pathway has in common: you need to build experience. The question is how you build those hours. Many pilots spend months flying the same local routes, completing circuit after circuit around the same airfield. While this certainly increases the numbers in the logbook, it doesn't always provide the variety of experience.l

Have you ever dreamed of flying along the French Riviera, crossing the mountains of southern Spain, exploring Italy from the air or even flying across the Strait of Gibraltar into Morocco? For many pilots from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other countries outside the UK and EASA, flying an aircraft in Europe can seem complicated. Most assume they need to convert their licence before they can take to the skies. You don't!
