What is integrated pilot training?

Integrated Pilot Training is a comprehensive program designed to take individuals from absolute beginners to holders of a Frozen Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) in 18 to 24 months, enabling them to fly for airlines and exercise the privileges of a Commercial Pilot License (CPL), The training is structured as follows:

  1. Theory Phase:

    • Students start by studying all 13 EASA subjects.

    • Flight instruction can commence after completing a minimum number of theoretical hours.

  2. Flight Instruction:

    • Flight training involves flying around 200 Hours.

    • Integrated courses often offer more immersive experiences, with students surrounded by an aviation environment daily.

  3. MCC Course (Multi Crew Cooperation):

    • The final stage is an MCC course, preparing students for airline training and emphasizing teamwork in a multi-pilot cockpit environment.

  4. Timeframe:

    • Integrated courses are usually full-time commitments, allowing for completion in as low as 18 months.

    • Some schools offer part-time 24-month programs, focusing on theory in the initial phase and flight training later.

  5. Benefits of Integrated Training:

    • The integrated route offers a faster and standardized path to an ATPL.

    • The combination of theory and flight training from the outset shortens the overall duration.

    • Students can stay in one location, avoiding the need to change schools.

Integrated Pilot Training is an ideal choice for those seeking a time-efficient, structured, and quality-assured pathway to obtaining an ATPL. It provides a seamless transition from theory to practical flying, preparing individuals for a successful career in aviation.
