0Women in Aviation – AFTA Future Female Pilots Webinar
Worldwide only 5% of pilots are female – raising the odds of a two-woman flight crew to one in 1,000. At AFTA we would like to help change these statistics.
This one-hour webinar is aimed at females from 13 to 65 who are considering a career as a commercial pilot. Past and present female students will present to you their journey into aviation and impart their advice to any member of the audience considering this as a career.
A career as a pilot is like no other and there are many benefits to choosing a career as an airline pilot. If you are interested in finding out more please come along.
This talk will be followed by a presentation by more of the AFTA team who will introduce you to AFTA, and explain to you in detail our Integrated Training Programmes. Although this event is aimed at encouraging more females, guys and girls are both equally welcome.
