Civil Pilot
The Civil Pilot module integrates academic education and EASA ATPL theory and provides students with the pathway to a professional pilot career. The programme covers all key elements of pilot training, from aircraft systems to operational procedures and flight safety.
Description
The Civil Pilot module prepares students for a career as a professional pilot in commercial and general aviation through a combination of academic content and EASA-standardized theoretical and practical training.
The programme is aligned with European pilot requirements (EASA), includes ATPL theory, workshops, simulator training and practical flying which are prerequisite for obtaining commercial and instrument ratings.
About the Programme
The programme provides broad knowledge of aerodynamics, aircraft systems, meteorology, navigation, human factors and aviation regulations, with detailed ATPL theory and foundational practical training. The programme equips students to continue practical training in partner ATO schools for obtaining pilot ratings in accordance with EASA PART-FCL.
Upon completion of the module, students acquire an academic degree and ATPL-level theoretical knowledge, with the opportunity to continue practical training in partner ATO schools for obtaining pilot ratings.
