==History==
[[File:Oxford Airport ATC Tower.jpg|thumb|The [[air traffic control]] tower at [[London Oxford Airport]].]]
The Oxford Flying Club was opened by the mayor of [[Oxford]] in 1939. However, restrictions placed on [[civil aviation]] during the Second World War curtailed its activities, and the airfield operated as RAF Kidlington for the duration of hostilities. The club reopened in 1947, renamed to the Oxford Aeroplane Club. During the 1950s, it gradually increased its fleet and, by 1960, had become a [[Flight training|flying school]] geared to the training of professional pilots.
 
In 1961, the flying school's parent company, Oxford Aviation, merged with the [[Pressed Steel Company]] to become British Executive Air Services Ltd. (BEAS).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oxford Aviation Training Complete CBTs for PPL [sitemap] - :: Flying Way :: |url=https://www.flyingway.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-87528.html |access-date=2024-01-02 |website=www.flyingway.com}}</ref> Dedicated ground school buildings and student residential accommodation were provided on site, and the first fully integrated Commercial Pilot's Licence (CPL) and [[instrument rating]] (IR) courses began in May 1962.
Oxford Flying Club was officially opened by the [[Mayor]] of [[Oxford]] in 1939. However, restrictions placed on [[civil aviation]] during World War II curtailed its activities and the airfield operated as RAF Kidlington for the duration of hostilities. The club reopened in 1947, renamed as the Oxford Aeroplane Club. During the 1950s it gradually increased its fleet and, by 1960, had become a [[Flight training|flying school]] geared to the training of professional pilots.
 
In 1963, the BEAS Flying Training Division was renamed Oxford Air Training School. Since then, over twenty thousand trained commercial pilots and [[Aircraft maintenance|aircraft engineers]] have graduated from the school.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oxford Aviation Training Complete CBTs for PPL [sitemap] - :: Flying Way :: |url=https://www.flyingway.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-87528.html |access-date=2024-01-02 |website=www.flyingway.com}}</ref> The school changed its name to Oxford Aviation Training (OAT) in the 1990s.
In 1961, the flying school's parent company, Oxford Aviation, merged with the [[Pressed Steel Company]] to become British Executive Air Services Ltd. (BEAS). Dedicated ground school buildings and student residential accommodation were provided on site, and the first fully integrated Commercial Pilot's Licence (CPL) and [[instrument rating]] (IR) courses began in May 1962.
 
On June 19, 2007, OAT's parent company, [[Signature Aviation|BBA Aviation]], now Signature Aviation, sold OAT to GCAT Flight Academy (formerly General Electric Commercial Aviation Training, part of [[GE Aviation]] and SAS Flight Academy, part of [[Scandinavian Airlines|Scandinavian Airlines System]]) for $63 million (£32 million). The deal was backed by GCAT Flight Academy's majority shareholder, STAR Capital Partners, an independent [[venture capital]] fund.
In 1963, the BEAS Flying Training Division was renamed Oxford Air Training School. Since then, over twenty thousand trained commercial pilots and [[Aircraft maintenance|aircraft engineers]] have graduated from the school. Including the first ever Commercial Space Shuttle Pilot's Licence which was awarded in 1989.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} The school changed its name to Oxford Aviation Training (OAT) in the 1990s.

On 19 June 2007, OAT's parent company [[BBA Aviation]] sold OAT to GCAT Flight Academy (formerly General Electric Commercial Aviation Training, part of [[General Electric]] and SAS Flight Academy, part of [[Scandinavian Airlines|Scandinavian Airlines System]]) for $63 million (£32 million). The deal was backed by GCAT Flight Academy's majority shareholder, STAR Capital Partners an independent [[venture capital]] fund.
 
In early February 2008, GCAT Flight Academy changed its registered name to Oxford Aviation Academy Ltd. OAT's branding and logo adorning the training centrecenter at Oxford and Goodyear Airports were replaced, with the new logo bearing the title 'Oxford Aviation Academy'. The insignia on the tailplanes of its [[Piper PA-28 Cherokee|Piper PA-28 Warrior]] and [[Piper PA-34 Seneca]] aircraft were also replaced with the new logo design. The new logo also appeared at the 8 locations formerly named GCAT Flight Academy, including those in Scandinavia and Hong Kong that GCAT purchased from SAS Flight Academy and the Woodford Training CenterCentre, purchased from BAE Systems. These changes were a result of both GCAT Flight Academy and Oxford Aviation Training being re-branded as Oxford Aviation Academy.

==Fleet==
==APP First Officer==
The fleet includes the following:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oaa.com/pages/about_us/fleet/aircraft/|title=Aircraft &#124; Oxford Aviation Academy - OAA.com|access-date=11 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130103091507/http://www.oaa.com/pages/about_us/fleet/aircraft/|archive-date=3 January 2013}}</ref>
[[File:VH-OXA.JPG|thumb|A [[Piper PA-44 Seminole]] of OAA's Australian campus]]
The flagship course of OAA is the full-time ab initio Integrated ATPL Training which is called '''Airline Pilot Programme First Officer''' ('''APP First Officer''').
 
{| class= wikitable
It is a [[Joint Aviation Authorities|JAA]] approved full-time course and is used to train pilots to the level of proficiency necessary to enable them to operate on a multi-crew aircraft in the position of a first officer, within a commercial airline. The course is designed for trainees who have little or no previous flying experience. The academy has strong connections with many of the world's leading airlines having built up a reputation for providing pilots to airlines through cadet schemes. Since [[September 11 attacks|9/11]], these "sponsored" programmes are very rare and most trainees are now "self-sponsored," and can seek employment with any airline (using the JAA licence) upon graduation.
 
After a rigorous pre-selection process, successful candidates are offered a place on the Airline Preparation Programme, subject to Class 1 [[Joint Aviation Authorities|JAA]] medical requirements. The initial theory and 14 [[Joint Aviation Authorities|JAA]]/[[European Aviation Safety Agency|EASA]] [[Airline Transport Pilot Licence|ATPL]] exams as well as the [[Instrument Rating]] and [[Multi Crew Coordination|Multi Crew Co-operation]]/Jet Orientation Course ([[Multi Crew Coordination|MCC]]/JOC) are completed at OAAs Oxford Training Centre (located at [[Oxford Airport]]) while the Commercial Pilot's Licence [[commercial pilot license|(CPL)]] is gained at OAA's training facility at [[Falcon Field (Arizona)|Falcon Field Airport]] in Mesa, Arizona.
 
==Course structure==
 
===Assessment===
[[File:Awards won by the Oxford Aviation Academy, Oxfordshire, UK - 20130124.jpg|thumb|right|Oxford's World awards]]
To gain a place on the course it is necessary to complete a one-day assessment at OAA's Oxford training centre. The assessment is designed to test candidates':
*Aptitude
*Capacity
*Technical Knowledge
*Personality
*Team Skills
*Verbal Reasoning
*Communication Skills
*Commitment
 
If successful in completing the assessment to the necessary standard then applicants are able to join the APP First Officer course.
 
===Ground School===
The first six months of the course are all completed in [[Oxford]] and it is during this time that students work to complete the 14 [[Joint Aviation Authorities|JAA]]/[[European Aviation Safety Agency|EASA]] [[Airline Transport Pilot Licence|ATPL]] theoretical exams. Completion of these exams is a pre-requisite to travelling to [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] to complete the practical flying and taking of the [[commercial pilot license|CPL]] Skills Test.

The 14 [[Airline Transport Pilot Licence|ATPL]] exams are as follows:
*Principles of [[Flight]]
*Aircraft General Knowledge – Systems
*Aircraft General Knowledge – Instrumentation
*Human Performance
*[[Meteorology]]
*[[Visual flight rules|VFR]] Communications
*[[instrument flight rules|IFR]] Communications
*General Navigation
*[[Radio navigation|Radio Navigation]]
*[[Flight planning|Flight Planning]]
*Aircraft Performance
*[[Center of gravity of an aircraft|Mass & Balance]]
*Operational Procedures
*[[Aviation law|Air Law]]
 
At the end of the six months students will have completed 760 hours of [[Airline Transport Pilot Licence|ATPL]] Ground School. The average grade for students on an APP course is 80%. OAA's student pass rates are above average with more than 60% passing all 14 [[Joint Aviation Authorities|JAA]] papers on the first attempt.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}
 
===Initial Flight Training===
The next five months of the course are spent in [[Falcon Field (Arizona)|Falcon Field Airport]], United States which allows students to take advantage of the good weather and get used to busy general aviation [[airspace]]. The first 115 hours of flying are completed on the [[Piper PA-28 Cherokee|Piper Archer]] (PA28), a single [[Reciprocating engine|piston-engine]] aircraft, including 3 hours on [[Extra EA-300|Extra 300L]] for [[Aircraft upset|upset recovery]] training. Ten hours of flying are then completed in the [[Piper PA-44 Seminole|Piper Seminole]] (PA44), a multi-engine aircraft which is used for the [[commercial pilot license]] (CPL) skills test. When successful then students return from [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]], [[Arizona]] with a multi-engine CPL.
 
===Advanced Flight Training===
The Advanced Flight Training takes place back in Oxford and students will complete 40 hours' time in a Flight and Navigation Procedures Trainers (FNPT) II fixed-base simulator and 20 hours' flight time in the [[Piper PA-34 Seneca|Piper Seneca V]] (PA34). This flying is designed to teach students to use aircraft instruments for navigation and culminates in the [[instrument rating]] skills test (IRT).
 
===Multi Crew Coordination (MCC) and a Jet Orientation Course (JOC)===
The final phase of training takes place over three weeks using a six-axis, full-motion [[Boeing 737 Classic|Boeing 737-400]] [[Flight simulator|simulator]] at Oxford. Twenty hours are dedicated to the [[Multi Crew Coordination]] (MCC) which teaches students how to work effectively in a multi-crew environment. The final 20 hours focus on the JOC allows students to get used to operating a modern jet airliner.
 
In summary, the integrated course consists of 220 hours of flight training and 760 hours of [[Airline Transport Pilot Licence|ATPL]] theoretical knowledge training and lasts approximately 20 months—culminating in the issue of a [[European Aviation Safety Agency|EASA]] [[Commercial pilot license|CPL]] with Instrument Rating and MCC credit. Following this course, a pilot is now qualified to gain employment in any airline within the EASA licensing region as a First Officer.
