MODULAR ATPL(A) COURSE
The modular ATPL(A) course provides a structured training pathway for aspiring airline pilots to obtain the necessary ratings within reasonable timeframes. The modular ATPL(A) course encompasses the following training modules: Private Pilot License (PPL(A)), Commercial Pilot License (CPL(A)), Instrument Rating (IR(A)), Night Flight Rating (NR), Multi Engine (Class) Rating (CR(A)), and ATPL(A) Theoretical Training.
By completing the modular ATPL(A) course, individuals acquire the essential qualifications and skills required to pursue a career as an airline pilot. Each module builds upon the previous one, gradually progressing towards the attainment of an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL(A)). This comprehensive training program ensures that aspiring pilots gain expertise in various aspects of aviation, including private pilot operations, commercial flight operations, instrument flying, night flying, multi-engine aircraft proficiency, and comprehensive theoretical knowledge required for an ATPL(A) certification.
The modular approach allows students to complete each training module at their own pace, offering flexibility and the ability to balance training with other commitments. This enables individuals to gain proficiency in each specific area before moving on to the next module. By following the modular ATPL(A) course, aspiring airline pilots can efficiently acquire the necessary qualifications and ratings to embark on a successful career in the aviation industry.
