Turkmenistan to Train Pilots According to European Standards (EASA)

On September 25, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan, Mammetkhan Chakiyev, reported on measures being taken to train international-level specialists for the country’s civil aviation sector during a government meeting.

As reported, efforts are underway to train local flight instructors at the Aviation Personnel Training School of the “Türkmenhowaýollary” State Service, with the issuance of certificates confirming international qualifications, enabling them to conduct training flights on Diamond aircraft. In addition, work is being carried out to improve the quality of teaching at this educational institution.

The practical steps being implemented in this direction will, in the future, allow the Aviation Personnel Training School to not only train local staff but also prepare foreign pilots, using the positive practices and standards of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) during training flights.

After hearing the report, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov approved the proposal to train international-level specialists at the Aviation Personnel Training School of the “Türkmenhowaýollary” State Service. The head of state instructed the Deputy Prime Minister to carry out the necessary work in this direction.
