European Flight Training

To upgrade the PPL to a Commercial Licence (CPL) will require a course of Ground School, either conducted full time in-house or by Distance Learning. These are called the JAA Theoretical Knowledge Examinations, they are normally at ATPL level and take approximately 6 months (full time in-house) to complete. There are 14 of these exams and all must be passed before the Commercial route can be continued.

Training for the ATPL

The standard course consists of 650 hours of instruction which may be conducted by Distance Learning or Full time groundschool. At EFT we are partnered with Gulf Coast Training Solutions to provide our EASA / JAA pilots with ATPL groundschool in Florida. Our state of the art facility includes individual computers and projectors. Our groundschool is 400 hours of instruction and 250 hours of exams. This is completed over 6 months.

The EASA / JAA ATPL subjects are :

Module 1: Principles of Flight Aircraft Performance General Navigation Radio Navigation Instruments Flight Planning Mass & Balance Module 2: Air Law Operational Procedures Meteorology Human Performance Aircraft General Knowledge VFR Communications IFR Communications

Upon completion of both modules you will complete 14 exams which are taken in Orlando, Florida just up the road.
