ATPL

Alvorens u zich kan aanbieden bij een luchtvaartmaatschappij dient u naast de vergunning CPL(A) tevens te beschikken over de bevoegdverklaringen Multi Engine en Instrument Rating. Daarnaast vraagt men meestal een totale vliegervaring van minimum 250 uren. Ons modulair systeem zorgt ervoor dat u aan de eisen voldoet die gesteld worden door de meeste maatschappijen.

De (frozen) ATPL zal U als vergunning gegeven worden nadat U volgende stappen zult hebben vervult.

De ATPL Theorie is een eerste vereiste na de PPL. De ATPL Theorie omvat eveneens de theorie nodig om de vergunning van CPL en de bevoegdverklaring IR te bekomen.

De ATPL wordt op Distance Learning gedaan en een ander deel wordt onder vorm van Classroom online gedaan.

In de Distance Learning zult U in kleine blokken werken die te studeren zijn, gevolgd door testen (on-line) over deze materie.

De ATPL wordt gedaan in samenwerking met BRISTOL GROUND SCHOOL. U kunt rechtstreeks online inschrijven met de link hieronder.

EASA Modular Pilot Training Path (Including BIF, UPRT & MEP-IR Transition)

This guide follows EASA Part-FCL regulations, detailing the full modular path from zero to Frozen ATPL (CPL-IR-MEP).

📌 Step 1: Class 1 Medical Certificate

Regulation: EASA Part-MED (MED.A.030)
✅ Why? Required before solo flight in PPL training.

📌 Step 2: PPL(A) – Private Pilot License

Regulation: EASA FCL.210.A (PPL Requirements)

✔ 45 flight hours minimum, including:

25 hours dual instruction
10 hours solo flight, including 5 hours solo cross-country
1 solo cross-country flight of at least 150 NM

🎯 Goal: Obtain PPL(A) – required to progress further.

📌 Step 3: Start ATPL Theory (Self-Study or Distance Learning Allowed)

Regulation: EASA FCL.515 & FCL.510.A (ATPL Theoretical Knowledge)

📚 14 subjects
⏳ 12-18 months duration
📍 Must pass all exams before CPL & IR Skills Test

🎯 Best Strategy: Study ATPL theory while doing Time Building & Night Rating.

📌 Step 4: Time Building + Night Rating + Basic Instrument Flight (BIF)

✅ Night Rating (NR)

Regulation: EASA FCL.810 (Night Rating Requirements)

✔ 5 flight hours (including at least 1 hour solo night flying).
✔ Required before starting IR training.

✅ Time Building (Total: ~100-150 Hours Before CPL)

✔ Required to meet the 200-hour total for CPL.
✔ Includes cross-country flying to improve navigation & IFR skills.

✅ Basic Instrument Flight (BIF)

Regulation: Included in IR training syllabus but often done earlier.
✔ May be done during Time Building to gain instrument experience before IR training.

📌 Step 5: CPL(A) – Commercial Pilot License (on SEP first)

Regulation: EASA FCL.320 & FCL.325 (CPL Flight Training & Experience)

✈ Requirements:
✔ Total 200 flight hours before CPL skills test
✔ 150 hours as Pilot-in-Command (PIC)
✔ CPL Flight Training: 15 hours minimum, including:

10 hours instrument training
5 hours on a complex aircraft (variable pitch propeller & retractable landing gear)

🔎 ATPL Theory Must Be Passed Before CPL Skills Test

📌 Step 6: IR(A) – Instrument Rating (on SEP first)

Regulation: EASA FCL.600 (IR Requirements)

✈ IR Training Requirements:
✔ 50 hours instrument time (40 hours can be in a simulator).
✔ Single-engine IR first to transition later to MEP-IR.
✔ Must pass IR Skill Test before progressing to MEP.

🔎 ATPL Theory Must Be Passed Before IR Skills Test

📌 Step 7: MEP(A) – Multi-Engine Piston Rating

Regulation: EASA FCL.725 (MEP Training)

✈ MEP Training:
✔ 6 hours flight training (including asymmetric flight)
✔ Must pass MEP Skill Test

🎯 Goal: Apply for MEP-VFR rating on license

Prepare for Multi-Engine IR.

📌 Step 8: MEP-IR(A) – Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (Short Transition!)

Regulation: EASA FCL.620 (ME-IR Transition)

🔎 If you already hold an IR on SEP, only 5 flight hours on MEP required!

✔ Total: 5 hours flight training
✔ MEP-IR Skill Test

📌 Step 9: UPRT – Upset Prevention & Recovery Training

Regulation: EASA FCL.745.A (UPRT Requirements)

✔ 3 flight hours + 5 hours theory
✔ Required before MCC & airline applications.

📌 Step 10: MCC & JOC – Multi-Crew Cooperation & Jet Orientation

Regulation: EASA FCL.735.A (MCC Requirements)

✈ MCC Training (Airliner Procedures & CRM):
✔ 25 hours simulator training
✔ Theoretical knowledge course

✈ JOC (Jet Handling & High-Speed Operations) – Optional but Recommended

🎯 Goal: Prepare for airline screening & type rating.

🎯 Final Goal: Frozen ATPL (CPL-IR-MEP + ATPL Theory Passed)

Once you have:
✅ CPL(A) License
✅ IR(A) – Multi-Engine Instrument Rating
✅ MEP(A) Rating
✅ ATPL Theory Passed

🎯 Your ATPL is "Frozen" until you reach 1500 flight hours for a full ATPL!
