Civil Pilot: Cody Harrison

  • Student Stories
  • Education

Cody Harrison began his journey with us at our interim facility before moving to our state-of-the-art campus for his final year. In 2023, he was awarded the ASI Civil & Military Award at the Further Education Awards Ceremony for his passion and dedication. On weekends, Cody even flew to Europe to explore different airlines and learn about their operations! 
 
Now a student pilot at FlyBy in Spain, Cody credits ASI for giving him an edge with his knowledge of ATPL and Principles of Flight subjects.  

“ASI was the perfect choice for me as it was aviation-specific. I’m glad I chose ASI over A Levels.” 
 
“The simulators at ASI are state-of-the-art, and they really gave me hands-on, practical learning of how an engine failure would affect the way the aircraft flies. This is just one example of how it helped put classroom learning into practice.  

“Flying from Nottingham City Airport was amazing – it was such a great opportunity to get hands-on with a real aircraft.” 
 
With aspirations to become a commercial airline pilot, Cody’s journey proves how aviation education can take you places!
