Integrated ATP(A) training program
An integrated ATP(A) training program is available at the Faculty of Traffic Sciences, which can be taken either as a study program or as an extracurricular option.
The primary objective of the ATP(A) program is to train pilots to the level of proficiency required to function as copilots on multi-pilot multi-engine airplanes in commercial air transport, and to obtain the CPL(A)/IR certification.
The course includes theoretical knowledge instruction, visual and instrument flying training, training in Multi-Crew Coordination (MCC) for operating multi-pilot aeroplanes, and Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) in accordance with FCL.745.A regulations.

The course requires a Class 2 medical certificate and a minimum age of 17. The price varies based on the type of aircraft and number of participants.
The aim of the PPL(A) course is to train the student pilot to act without remuneration as PIC or co-pilot on airplanes or TMGs engaged in non-commercial operations under the Visual Flight Rules. The course requires a Class 2 medical certificate and a minimum age of 17. The price varies based on the type of aircraft and number of participants.
Night Rating course
The aim of the Night Rating course is to qualify holders of Part-FCL licenses with privileges to fly airplanes or TMGs to exercise their privileges at night. The course comprises of 3 hours of theory and 5 hours of practical training, and costs €1,640.00.
IR(A) modular training course
The aim of the IR(A) modular training course is to train pilots to the level of proficiency necessary to operate aircraft under IFR and in IMC. The privileges of a holder of an IR are to fly aircraft under IFR, including PBN operations, with a minimum decision height of no less than 200 feet (60 m).

is a regulated course that includes at least five hours of theoretical instruction and three hours of practical instruction. Since December 2019, this course has become mandatory for all pilots before their first type rating course in multi-pilot operations. The goal of AUPRT is to equip pilots with the knowledge, skills, and resilience needed to recognize, prevent, and recover from airplane upsets. This helps in mitigating Loss of Control in flight (LOC-I). The training is comprehensive and focuses on both theoretical understanding and practical flying techniques to ensure correct recovery responses in critical situations. Before starting the training, certain criteria must be met. Candidates for AUPRT must be at least 18 years old, have a valid pilot license of at least PPL(A), and a valid medical certificate (at least Category 2). The cost of the course is €1,245.00.

- The tasks of PF and PNF are clearly specified and distributed in such a manner that the PF can direct his/her full attention to the handling and control of the aircraft,
- Cooperation is affected in an orderly manner appropriate to the normal, abnormal, or emergency situation encountered,
- Mutual supervision, information and support are always ensured,
- Application of TEM and CRM principles to training is implied.
The course includes 25 hours of theoretical training and 20 hours of FNPT II training. The price varies based on the number of participants.
Flight Instructor course – FI(A)
There is nothing more satisfying than teaching people how to fly aeroplanes. You will never forget the day you send your student on his/her first Solo flight. Teaching students how to fly is an exceptionally responsible job.
The aim of the Flight Instructor course is to provide training to pilots with a license to become flight instructors at the PPL(A) level and obtain the FI(A) certificate. The course is divided into two parts: theoretical training and practical training. The theoretical training consists of 129 hours of classes and tests on teaching, learning, and teaching by AMC1 FCL.920. The practical training includes 25 hours of flying on airplanes and 5 hours on FNPT II. To access the course, candidates must be over 18 years of age and hold a valid medical certificate. They must have passed a specific entrance test in flight with a flight instructor, qualified by FCL.905.FI(i), within six months prior to the start of training. The test flight will assess the candidate’s ability to start training as a flight instructor, and it is not included in the 30 hours of the training program. Candidates must also have at least 10 hours of flight training for instrument flying, of which a maximum of 5 hours can be on a simulator. In addition, they must have completed 20 hours of cross country flying on the appropriate category of aircraft as PIC and hold a valid CPL(A) or PPL(A) license. The flight training and assessment of competence for obtaining the FI(A) certificate should be completed within six months of passing the theoretical exams. The AoC is not included in the training, and the price of the course depends on the number of participants and the type of aircraft.
This program is designed to provide candidates with the essential training to acquire a CRI(A) certificate. With this qualification, they will be equipped to train pilots for single-pilot multi-engine airplanes with confidence and proficiency. Candidates will need to meet specific requirements before commencing their training. These include being at least 18 years old, possessing a valid pilot’s license authorizing them to fly single-pilot multi-engine airplanes, and having a valid medical certificate. Additionally, they must have at least 500 flight hours as an airplane pilot, of which 30 hours must be flown as a pilot in command on a class of single-pilot multi-engine airplanes. To help candidates achieve their goals, pilots who currently or previously held an instructor rating will be credited 25 hours of theoretical teaching and learning training as part of the CRI(A) training program. Through 45 hours of theoretical and practical training, candidates will gain the necessary skills to obtain the CRI(A) authorization for multi-engine aircraft. They will complete at least five hours of flight training with an instructor, covering training with all engines in operation and in the case of engine failure. This training will be similar to the air exercise portion of a single-engine flight instructor course but customized to the multi-engine operation. The purpose of this part is to familiarize the candidates with airborne training in operational procedures and handling of multi-engine airplanes with all engines in operation, as well as in asymmetric flight conditions. With dedication and hard work, candidates can emerge as proficient instructors, equipped to take on the challenges of training pilots for single-pilot multi-engine airplanes.
