EASA Integrated ATPL course
Our EASA Integrated ATPL full-time course is designed to take you from little to no flying experience to successfully obtaining your ‘frozen ATPL’.
Train for your EASA ATPL licence
To become a commercial pilot and fly for airlines registered in the European Union, you must complete an EASA approved ATPL qualification. The ATPL combines both theoretical basics and practical flying hours enabling you to obtain your ‘frozen ATPL’ on successful completion of the programme.
You will graduate with a 'frozen ATPL' when you have successfully completed your pilot training with L3Harris. In order to unfreeze your ATPL and qualify as a Co-Pilot you will need to complete the required 1,500 flight hours.
