Course description

The objective of the integrated airline pilot course is to train an ab initio pilot to obtain the comptency required to become a 1st officer on multi-crew  commercial transport aircraft of greater than 5.7 tonnes or as a pilot in command on a single pilot commercial aircraft.

This training begins with the airline pilot theory (ATPL) course and continues with basic practical flight training on a single engine aircraft followed by advanced training on twin engine aircraft and simulators. Throughout the ground and flight training courses the student will acquire the know-how and interpersonal skills required for an airline pilot career. The future pilot will encounter diverse technical and meteorological situations requiring decision making skills and building real life experiences.

The level of aviation flight safety requires attention and vigilance at all times from everyone. This high level is acquired through in depth training and the correct application of procedures.
