Airline Transport Pilot License – ATPL Modular Training

The required license type for those who choose aviation as a profession and want to make the sky their office is the ATPL, or Airline Transport Pilot License. Whether you aspire to be an airline pilot, a private jet pilot, or engage in various commercial activities with a multi-engine aircraft, you need to complete ATPL training. In our flight school, this program is offered modularly, allowing you to progress in sync with your work or school life. Considering factors such as personal study performance, exam processes, and meteorology, the program lasts between 14-18 months.

Stages of ATPL Modular Training:

Training is provided in packages/modules and consists of different stages.
These stages are:

Medical Report:

The first stage of modular ATPL training, the PPL training, requires pilot candidates to obtain a medical report before the theoretical training at the latest after enrollment. The medical report must be obtained from hospitals authorized by the Civil Aviation Authority. If a candidate is unable to obtain the report due to health issues, their registration will be canceled free of charge. For the first stage of training, PPL(A), PIC, and NVFR, a Class 2 medical certificate is sufficient. However, before advancing to the second stage and obtaining a commercial pilot license, candidates must have a Class 1 medical certificate. Our flight school recommends that ATPL course applicants obtain a Class 1 medical certificate from the beginning of the training. For more information about medical certificates, you can contact our flight school.

English Language Proficiency:

A language proficiency certificate is not required for enrollment in the ATPL modular training program. Candidates who do not have English language proficiency can enroll in an English course after registering and must pass a language proficiency test before the commercial pilot training stage. Our flight school provides support for candidates who need to obtain English language proficiency before obtaining their commercial pilot license. For more information, please contact our support center.

Throughout the training, student pilots complete a total of 217 flight hours, including check flights.
