Airline Transport Pilot License (atpl)

Airline Transport Pilot License

The Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) is the highest grade of piloting that one can achieve. It also allows for the holder to eventually captain a large aircraft on a scheduled flight, such as working as an airline captain.

Training Schedule

Distance Learning (Self Study):

The Airline Transport Pilot License distance learning system is based on students studying the material independently from home. We will provide all the necessary study materials through electronic software, including an interactive multimedia learning tool.

Before sitting for exams, students will attend consolidation classes with fully qualified ground instructors. These classes are designed to address any difficulties they may encounter.

Class-Based system:

The class-based ATPL system allows the student to study 50% of the required hours in class with our qualified ground instructors. The classes run based on modules and you can join for any module as you see fit.

Module 1 – Air Law, Operational Procedures, Meteorology
Module 2 – Aircraft General Knowledge, Instrumentation, Flight Planning
Module 3 – General Navigation, Radio Navigation,Performance
Module 4 – Communication, Human Performance, Principles of Flight, Mass and Balance

The modules usually last around 2 months, and are followed by the examinations which are held at TM-CAD.
