Integrated ATPL (Aeroplane) (PTD-ATPL-101)
Our Integrated Airline Transport Pilot License course is a 24 months full time Diploma in Aviation Studies program leading to the issue of a QCAA Commercial Pilot’s License (CPL) with multi-engine instrument rating (IR) and Airline Transport Pilot’s License (ATPL) Theory credits. Upon gaining flight experience this license is then automatically eligible for upgrade to a QCAA Airline Transport Pilot’s License (ATPL (A).
PTD’s flight training program is based on the QCAA syllabus which mirrors the EASA integrated course of training and is designed to take suitably capable cadets with no previous flight experience to the right-hand seat of a commercial airliner in minimal time. Our ATPL (A) course consists of 930 hours of theoretical training leading to 14 QCAA examinations. On the flying side our syllabus contains a total of 186 hours of actual flight training, consisting of 144 hours in the Diamonds single-engine aircraft, 42 hours in the Diamonds multi-engine aircraft and a further 53 hours of procedural training are conducted in the college’s Diamonds single and multi-engine flight navigation procedural trainers in our dedicated simulator center. In the flying phases there are 6 progress tests starting with basic aircraft handling (progress test 1), and concluding with the highly demanding QCAA multi-engine instrument rating skill test. The ATPL course is concluded with a 3-week, 40 hours Multi-crew co-operation course in the college’s Airbus A320 Jet simulator. By this point our freshly graduated cadets are ready for type training with an airline. A typical entry level aircraft would be the Airbus A320.
