EATS is the densest annual gathering of European ATO leadership, airline training departments and training-device vendors. Expect deep tracks on CBTA and EBT implementation, instructor standardisation and the EASA regulatory roadmap — plus an exhibit floor covering every major simulator and training-tech vendor in the EASA market.
Should a flight school attend?
A must for airline-pipeline ATPL/MPL schools under EASA — your airline partners' training departments are in the room, and cadet-placement relationships get built here. Modular PPL-focused schools get better recruitment value at AERO Friedrichshafen.
