Our Story

LMQ Training was created out of the operational experience of a group of pilots led by Roberto Liotta, and the realisation that Italy had tremendous potential for an exceptional ATO.

The involvement of LMQ Ltd, founded by Mrs. Lydia Malone and Captain Carey Edwards, experts in Training and Human Factors, provides the important combination of technical operational experience and psychological expertise.

Our 42 years of flight experience combined with 38 years of experience and research in Human Factors, are the mixture that generates the guarantee that LMQ Training offers the highest quality training in the aviation industry for those who approach our ATO.
