The ASG team are proud to have delivered an intensive two-week in March and April to our partners at the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). We were also delighted to welcome two visiting course participants from Her Majesty's Coastguard (HMCG) from the United Kingdom.

Some of the subjects included: Operational Risk Management, Meteorology, Navigation and map-reading, Principles of Flight / Mass & Balance, Flight Planning, Air Law, Communications, Operational Procedures, Human Factors and Crew Resource Management (CRM), SAR Operations, Fatigue Risk Management and Flight Time Limitations.

We are very proud to be assisting Ireland's front line services with critical training of this nature. The Irish Coast Guard which co-ordinates all Search and Rescue (SAR) services for Ireland 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. This was also the first time in over 18 months that we have delivered this course "in-class", at the Department of Transport, having delivered it remotely since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

1/2/2022

We provide our ATPL students with the ultimate flexibility when choosing how they would like to attend their ATPL revision classes with us. They can attend your revision classes physically, remotely, or both.

For our remote learners, we have invested significantly in technology and training to ensure the most effective possible remote learning environment for those who decide to attend classes in this way. In order to ensure a fantastic classroom experience, our classroom is equipped with 4K definition webcams, RØDE broadcast quality microphones, a dedicated instructor login station, and a classroom facing flat-screen display where the faces of those attending remotely will even be displayed to the students who are attending physically so that everyone feels part of our classroom environment. We have conducted a lot of research in trying to improve the student experience and out instructors have received specific training in the delivery of training to a hybrid audience i.e. with some students physically attending and others attending remotely.

Each one of our ATPL instructors are selected for their practical industry experience and expertise in their theoretical domains. While many ATO's use their day-to-day flight instructors for ATPL instruction, by using subject matter experts (directly from industry) we can focus on providing the highest quality of training. We hire directly from the aviation industry and our instructors include: current airline pilots, type rating instructors, aircraft and avionics technicians, human factors specialists, military pilot instructors, aeronautical engineers, and air traffic controllers.

ASG conducts its first Flight Operations & Crew Control since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic

27/10/2021

The ASG instructional team were delighted to commence delivery of our first Flight Operations and Crew Control course to three CityJet Flight Operations and Crew Control staff.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, ASG delivered regular periodic training in Flight Operations, Crew Control, Flight Time Limitations (FTL) and Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) to a wide variety of airline customers including, for example: Norwegian, Scandinavian Airlines, Aer Lingus, CityJet, Hibernian, DAS Private Jets, Stobart Air, and ASL Airlines.

The aim of our Flight Operations training course is to provide in-depth theoretical knowledge in subjects relevant to the role of the flight operations and dispatch personnel. It is designed to provide induction knowledge to new students who have no practical flight operations experience and also to consolidate, revise, and complement the knowledge of experienced personnel as part of a periodic re-currency training programme. The comprehensive training programme is conducted over a ten day period and consists of 90 hours of classroom learning; it is designed to meet the requirements prescribed by ICAO DOC 7192 and IOSA / IATA Standards Manual relevant to the training and continued professional development of flight operations and dispatch personnel.

ASG & Simtech Aviation host event where students got a free Boeing 737-800 simulator session

23/10/2021

ASG and Simtech Aviation recently hosted an event (October 16th) for trainee Airline Pilots where they had a unique opportunity to fly the Boeing 737-800 simulator for free. It was a fantastic day for all of those involved with attendees receiving plenty of free merchandise, refreshments and snacks, and (of course) some hands on time practising to fly the Boeing 737-800. Numbers for the event were very limited and all students were required to hold a Private Pilots Licence (PPL) in order to secure their place.

ASG founder & MD, Diarmuid O’Riordan, commented after the event: “It was fantastic to meet so many like minded people with a shared passion for the aviation industry. We all engaged with each other and had some great conversations and exchanges. We shared our own views on everything from future flight training options, airline recruitment, and the likely future trajectory of the industry. These past 18 months have been so challenging for anyone involved in the aviation industry and it was just great to finally be able to hold an in-person event. For me, personally, it was particularly nice to be able to meet, for the very first time, those many new ASG students who have put their faith in us for their ATPL theory training throughout the pandemic. Another major highlight was being able to see one of our former ASG students, John Murtagh, coach a current ASG student (Gary Freeman) on how to land the Boeing 737! Given the success of the recent event, and the fact that we could not facilitate everyone’s attendance due to the limited numbers, we certainly intend on holding many more events like this in the future”.

Note: In order to ensure a safe event for all, attendee numbers were limited and proof of COVID-19 vaccination was a requirement for all.
