Hi! My name is Emil.
I am an active airline pilot and instructor.

I found Peak Aviation Ltd. in 2019 as a company providing aviation services in Bulgaria and the rest of Europe. A year later, in 2020, along with Angel Abadzhiev, we found a Declared Training Organisation - Peak Aviation Academy. Our aim is to provide the pilots of tomorrow with a modern and flexible theoretical training for the private pilot's licence. One that is interactive and of the highest quality. I am an active Boeing 737 airline pilot for one of the largest airlines in Europe, a type rating instructor (TRI), and a flight instructor (FI), as well.
Now is the time for my team and I
to pass over to you our knowledge and experience!

A PPL for aeroplanes will allow you to act as pilot in command (PIC) in non-commercial operations on aeroplanes or touring motor gliders (TMGs). Practically, this means you have the right to fly for leisure in a single engine aircraft without being paid. The licence is acknowledged throughout Europe and its rights are valid in all European Union member states.

The theoretical knowledge course is a mandatory part of the PPL(A) training and is the first step towards obtaining the Private Pilots Licence. The course consists of 100 study hours and is aimed at giving you (the student) the knowledge required to fly safely. The content is divided in 9 subjects. Upon completion, you will be provided with a Course Completion Certificate, which would allow you to sit the 9 theoretical exams, conducted by you local CAA (Civil Aviation Authority). All 9 theoretical exams must be passed successfully prior to your Skills Test at the end of the 45 hours of flight training.

Peak Aviation Academy provides only the highest quality of training in a modern and structured manner through an online learning platform. The materials that we use are of leading content developers in the world. Others are developed by us, in-house. The e-learning system is second to none in the country! All our instructors are active commercial pilots, full of energy and passion, ready to share their aviation experience with you! Personally, I instruct pilots on the Boeing 737 for the largest airline in Europe and now I am here with you, to pass over my experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for aviation. Welcome to Peak Aviation Academy!

Reviews

The PPL groundschool is newest one to be offered on the market in Bulgaria. It is modern and designed in a way that works around the schedule of the student.
It my pleasure to have established a partnership with Peak Aviation Academy and provide students with the required flight training once the ground school has been completed.
The pilot training market have been long missing such a training provider. One that is actively led by young, yet experience people. The course is very well structured, presented in a modern way and provides the opportunity to study from the comfort of your home and works really well around your work schedule.
Emil and I, both fly on the Boeing 737 for one of the largest airlines in Europe. I am excited that he can now pass his experience and enthusiasm through his academy and the theoretical knowledge course provided. I do not know about any other flight school in Bulgaria offering a distance learning course at this level of training.
I am a flight instructor in the United Kingdom and recently found out about the course offered by Peak Aviation Academy. They use world-class teaching materials, the course is led by active pilots and the the online learning system is very organised and easy to navigate through.
