Pilot Training Specialist

IMO set down its recommendations on Pilot Training in its landmark Resolution A960, adopted in 2003. 

IMO began by acknowledging that most member states already had high standards of Pilotage services, so all it was doing was establishing practical minimum training standards. 

The full text of A960, including the Annex on Training Recommendations, can be found here.

The following are a list of institutions and bodies offering Pilot Training.  IMPA does not necessarily endorse all or any these establishments.
