ATPL theory training

Executive Flight Academy’s commercial pilot theory training consists of a unique combination of distance learning with state-of-the-art e-learning tools and old-fashioned classroom instruction from a teacher with a piece of chalk in front of the blackboard, combining the best of both worlds.

It is very important to realize that an ATPL theory training is perceived as ‘difficult’ and ‘a lot.’ This is mainly because most providers do not offer any support during the learning phase, only a two-week brush up AFTER your studies like mustard after a meal.. So if you are stuck you often get little or no help!

ExecutiveFlight therefore offers you 2 options for your ATPL study:

1. The ATPL fast track option for people who are qualified to complete the study almost independently with the minimum brushup support time of 65 hours. (This is what most providers offer)
2. The ATPL plus option with weekly live lessons and support (60% online and 40% live so you save a lot of travel time)

With ExecutiveFlight you don’t get the Brushup sessions AFTER you have studied yourself as mustard to the meal, but DURING your study. The number of online or live contact hours is also double the legal minimum that is given elsewhere. So there is really personal attention if you have questions about the theory or the practice exercises! This is crucial for a fast and stress-free study. In these lessons we cover the difficult, counter-intuitive and important topics so that you can go through the material much more easily afterwards. This is a crucial stress reducer and study accelerator, but therefore slightly more expensive.
So don’t compare apples with oranges when you compare prices. Because a price in itself says nothing at all.

Another problem are the exam questions. Because more and more questions leak out, the questions are made more and more difficult so that someone who has studied everything well has no chance of making it without a professional top ATPL QuestionBank with the most up-to-date questions and their elaborations. A smart student spends at least half of the time making question bank questions. The choice of the ATPL QB is therefore crucial. EF offers you the currently best question bank on the market together with the required tables and graphs, the so-called ‘CAPS’, and the ‘Jeppesen Student Training Manual.’

The exam costs at the CBR are extremely expensive (2366,- Euro) and working with this organization is also very difficult to book exam slots. Other exam centers that Ef uses in the Netherlands and abroad are 60-80% cheaper. Yes, you read that right!

Contrary to the situation in the Netherlands, you can take all exams in English, wherever and whenever you want! You will receive the result immediately. The exam fees for ATPL are only €1050 at Executiveflight compared to €2366 at the CBR

Course program ATPL theoretical course

The theory curriculum for airline transport pilots (ATPL) includes 14 courses all of which can be taken at once or in two test blocks of 7 subjects. A full-time student will spend 6-9 months to pass all subjects and a part-time student about 12-18. Our hybrid Classroom / Distance Learning training concept is divided into the following stages:

  •   Home study
  •   Progress Test
  •   Brush-Up
  •   Practice exam
  •   Exam (optional Home Work Support on individual basis possible)

Each exam block of 7 subjects takes 2 days.

Block A test session (2 days)

  •   General Navigation
  •   Flight Planning & Monitoring
  •   Human Performance & Limitations
  •   Performance
  •   Principles of Flight
  •   Mass & Balance
  •   Radio Navigation

Block B 2nd exam session (2 days)

  •   Operational Procedures
  •   VFR Communications & IFR Communications
  •   Performance
  •   Aviation Law
  •   Aircraft General Knowledge
  •   Meteorology
  •   Instruments

General

The ATPL theory consists of 14 subjects and together with the CPL license it results into a so-called “frozen ATPL”. A frozen ATPL gives the holder the right to serve as first officer in a mulit-pilot operation (airline). With a CPL alone one can only work in single pilot operations, and there are only very few left of these. So it is strongly recommended to pass the ATPL theory.

Initial requirements

PPL from any country / jurisdiction: United States (FAA), Europe (EASA) and the rest of the world (ICAO)

Theoretical course

14 Theoretical subjects divided into 2 blocks. Each block must be completed in seven days at the examination center in Brussels. There can be maximum six months between the exams for those blocks and when you have passed everything the theory remains valid for 36 months. During this period, the candidate must obtain his commercial pilot license (CPL) and the Instrument Rating (IR). A candidate must have completed all the theoretical exams within 18 months.

Afterwards

Within 36 months your need to obtain your CPL and IR otherwise your so-called “theory credit” expires. After that, if you let your licenses and ratings expire for more than 7 years you lose everything.

Other information

The ATPL theoretical course consists of the following subjects: principles of flight, meteorology, navigation, radio navigation, human performance, flight planning, performance, mass and balance, VFR Communications, IFR communications, instrumentation, aircraft general knowledge, aviation legislation and operational procedures.
