Our Mission
Future Pilots.
We would like you to turn away from flying.
Don't spend your money on an expensive flight school and don't join this toxic industry
PLEASE THINK AGAIN.
Don't be a pilot
World School of Flight Teaches The Shocking Damage of Flying
The science journal Nature states that for every extra 4434 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere one human will die. *
4434 tons of C02e = One human death
4434 tons of C02e = 77 flying hours by 777
4434 tons of CO2e = Ten return flights London - New York (777 )
4434 tons of CO2e = Three flights Newark to Singapore (A350)
The average commercial pilot flies 75 - 80 hours a month.
Yet 77 hours in a 777 causes one human death.
So if you become a 777 pilot every single month your flying will be responsible for someone's death.
Do you want that on you conscience for the rest of your life?
– Please think again
* The Mortality Cost of Carbon - Nature - (Bressler D July 2021)

The author states ‘adding 4,434 metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 causes one excess death globally...’
How you can help
Did you know?
The human cost is one climate death per 4434 tonnes CO2 that's one death for every ten return flights London to New York. (777)
Calculation
A single hour of 777 flight uses 2500 gallons of fuel (Source https://executiveflyers.com/how-much-fuel-does-a-plane-use/)
Conversion to litres - 2,500 x 4.54609 = 11,365 litres
Conversion to tonnes assuming density of aviation fuel to be 0.8 = 9 tonnes
When burnt this converts to 3.15 x Carbon Dioxide – 29 tonnes
Accounting for ‘radiative forcing’ ie effect of other greenhouse gases, contrails etc = 29 x 2 = 57 tonnes
Number of hours @57 tons/hour of CO2e to reach 4434 tonnes – 4434 / 68 = 77 hours
Therefore, 77 hours of flying a 777 will produce over 4434 tonnes of C02e.
