MODULAR ATPL (A) with PPL(A) COURSE

Airline Transport Pilot Licence

AIM OF THE COURSE:

The course is aimed at obtaining a Theoretical ATPL(A) (Frozen) with a CPL(A)/IR-ME SP + MCC Licence that

will allow you to fly as co-pilot on public transport aeroplanes.

PRE-REQUISITES:

· You must be at least 18 years of age;

· PPL(A) or superior licence;

· You must hold a class I medical certificate;

· Entry tests in Maths, Physics and English.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE:

You will have to obtain a level 4 or superior TEA certificate; You can take the relevant exam in situ.

THEORETICAL TRAINING:

The course is made up of 650 hours of Theory on the following subjects:

Air Law, Aircraft general knowledge, Flight planning and performance, Human performance and limitations,

Meteorology, Navigation and Radionavigation, Operational procedures, Principles of flight, Communications, English

for Aviation, Class ratings, MCC theoretical course.

Textbooks: Teoria del Volo (R. Trebbi), 15 ATPL Theoretical Knowledge Manuals (Oxford).

If you already hold a CPL/IR(A) Licence, theoretical training may be revised depending on each individual case.

FLIGHT TRAINING:

Flight Training is divided in Modules. MINIMUM hours for each module are as follows:

EASA Night Qualification: (if you don’t hold it already)

· 05 hours of Dual Flight Instruction according to night flying rules.

IRME-SP Module: (at least 50 hours of Cross Country PIC flying)

· 10 hours of Dual Training for Basic Instrument Flight; *

· 30 hours of Dual Training for Instrument Flight on single-engine aeroplanes;

· 15 hours of Dual Training for Instrument Flight on multi-engine aeroplanes.

CPL(A) Module: (at least 150 total flight hours)

· 10 hours of Dual Training for Basic Instrument Flight; *

· 15 hours of Dual Training according to Visual Flight Rules.

MEP Rating: (at least 70 hours of PIC flying)

· 06 hours of Dual Training for multi-engine (MEP) aeroplanes + Skill test.

MCC rating: (you must hold IRME-SP rating)

· 40 hours on FNPT II certified simulator for Multi-crew cooperation (MCC).

AEROPLANES TO BE USED:

· Single Engine: Cessna C172FR, Cessna C172SP, Piper PA28RT;

· Multi Engine: Piper PA34 Turbo Seneca V;

· Simulators: Mechtronix / Alsim FNPT II.

DURATION OF COURSE:

The theoretical course has to be completed within 18 months.

Flight training will have to be completed within 36 months of completion of the theoretical exams.

INTERMEDIATE AND FINAL EXAMS:

During the course, the students will have to take intermediate exams, to check their training progress. They will have

to pass pre-tests before being admitted to the Ministry Theory exams. Pass rate is 75% of correct answers. Pre-tests

can be taken only after the relevant Theory lessons are completed.

the Ministry Theory exams will be taken at the Italian CAA ( ENAC ) in Rome or Milan Malpensa. Every candidate

has 6 exam sessions, to be concluded within 18 months, and every subject can be repeated up to 4 times. After you

pass all exams, you will obtain your ATPL Theory.

The skill Test is divided into two flight sessions, lasting approximately 2 hours each , to obtain a CPL(A) and the

IR(A). Both tests will be taken on Multi Engine aeroplanes in Venegono, Flight school base.

If you pass those tests, you will obtain a CPL(A)/IR-ME SP.

After you fly 1500 flight hours, of which at least 500 on multi-crew aeroplanes, you will be able to request to take the

skill test required to obtain a full ATPL(A).

N.B. To be admitted to the CPL(A) exam, the student must have flown at least:

·200 hours of total flight time;

·100 hours as Pilot in Command ( of which at least 50 must be of navigation, with at least a 300 NM navigation with

one or more full stop landing in at least 2 airports, other than that of departure).
