Welcome to CFAA!
Welcome to CFAA!
The CFAA (The Azores Aeronautical Training Academy), operated by SATA, allows the realization of courses based on Competency, Knowledge and Skills Development Training (CBT), through simulated exercises, mainly for SATA staff, private training delegates and external entities, who wish to train with CFAA or, essentially, want to lease the facilities.
With the inauguration of the Academy on September of 2012 and, consequently, through the daily operations, the island of Santa Maria and SATA, once again, affirm their geostrategic importance and Atlantic vocation, centered on the Azores name brand and SATA’s “know-how”.
If you desire to train with SATA, you will be touched by a unique experience on the beautiful and sunny island of Santa Maria.
This Academy, based on high standards of quality and excellence, invites you to an exclusive training environment and friendly staff.
Nowadays, the development of human capital becomes a fundamental function of all businesses, through the prevention of accidents, not only for the competitiveness of airlines but also for their sustainability and resiliency.

The Academy
The CFAA holds the purpose of providing SATA and the Autonomous Region of the Azores with outstanding means for the theoretical and practical training of, not only for air crews and ground staff supporting air transportation of passengers and cargo, in accordance with the existing legal requirements, as well as, for external trainees, entities, and SATA staff.
This Academy is comprised of several classrooms, learning stations, as well as several cabin simulators and aircraft equipment that allow for the practice of real flight situational scenarios, stimulating timely reactive responses to emergency situations, fire and rescue operations.
This Academy, besides being innovative and being motivated by social and economic responsibility, it builds on subsets of synergies and, overall, takes advantage of several aviation infrastructures that are available in Santa Maria.
The CFAA is, therefore, an ambitious and innovative project, representing a quantum leap in the training function that is managed by SATA.
