Integrated Airline Pilot Training

The aim of this JAA Approved full-time course of training is to train pilots to the level of proficiency necessary to enable them to operate as a Co-Pilot on multi-pilot, multi-engine airliners in commercial air transport.  The course is designed for trainees who have little or no previous flying experience and must be completed at one flight training organization.  Our Integrated course consists of 216 hours of flight training and 760 hours of ATPL theoretical knowledge training and lasts approximately 16 months - culminating in the issue of a JAA CPL with Instrument Rating and Multi-Crew Co-operation credit.  Following this course, a pilot is now qualified to commence on airliner type specific training.

The brand name for our Integrated ATPL(A) course is APP FIRST OFFICER

App First Officer

To act as Pilot-in-Command of a Multi Pilot airliner you need an Airline Transport Pilots Licence.  If your clear ambition is to embark upon a full-time career as an airline pilot - and achieve this ambition, quickly and professionally in a highly structured way, with people of like mind, then our APP FIRST OFFICER Integrated course is the solution for you.

A combination of ground, flight, jet, team and commercial training skills wrapped into a programme which is respected by airline employers as a consistent and reliable source of supply to meet their First Officer recruitment needs and of course - their Captains of the Future!
