CPL(A) - Training

The CPL(A) training (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane) provides all the aeronautical, theoretical and practical knowledge required for use as a commercial pilot.

The training can be carried out modularly or integrated and follows uniform standards throughout Europe. European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Content includes, among others, air law, navigation, meteorology, human factors and intensive flight training.

In addition, examinations, simulator training and crew resource management are completed in order to optimally prepare graduates for activities in aviation companies, business aviation or as flight instructors.

Theoretical training usually includes 13 subjects, including:

• Aircraft law

• Flight planning and performance

• Navigation

• Meteorology

• Aircraft (aerodynamics) & Systems

• Instrumentation

• Human Factors

• Operating procedures

• Radio navigation

• Communication procedures

The lessons take place depending on the flight school in presence, as a distance learning course or combined. At the end of the day, Theoretical examination to the Authority.

Practical CPL(A) training consists of structured flight hours that prepare specifically for the aeronautical professional profile. These include:

• Basic flight manoeuvres for the perfection of flight technology

• Navigation flights Over longer distances (incl. Cross-country flights

• Radio navigation and precision approaches

• Flying under increased workloads

• More complex procedures such as emergency training, steep turns, slow flight

• Flights on more complex aircraft (e.g.) with retractable landing gear and adjustable propeller, unless completed under other modules

All practical training will conclude with a Aircraft competence test (Skill test).

Modular training

Here the CPL(A) is acquired on the basis of already existing licenses, e.g. According to the PPL (A) and, where applicable, additional building blocks such as night flight and instrument flight training. Each phase is completed separately.

Integrated training

A continuous full-time program that doesvetails theory and practice. The CPL(A) is obtained together with other ratings such as IR (instrument rating) or MEP (multi-engine aircraft) in a compact course.

Vocational orientation within training

CPL(A) training places particular emphasis on professional procedures, decision-making and situational management. The goal is to be able to fly an aircraft. Safe, efficient and in line with commercial standards to lead.
