Airline Transport Pilot License

Course Details :   

An Airline Transport Pilot License is required for a pilot to fly as Pilot In Command (PIC) in commercial aviation operations. But most airlines nowadays including Sri Lankan Airlines and Mihin Lanka needs all applicants for cadet-ship to possess an ATPL (frozen) Licence with CPL/IR.

This means a candidate needs to successfully complete the theoretical training module of the ATPL which comprises fourteen subjects and a Commercial Pilot License. This qualification allows an individual to work professionally as a pilot in any airline or related company.

Fairway Aviation Academy’s ATPL (frozen) course complies with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and therefore can easily be rendered valid (converted) to the equivalent of another ICAO member state.

The ATPL would become un-frozen when the flight experience requirements are met. (1500 hours). This amount of flying hours would normally be achieved during employment as a first officer. Minimum age to defreeze an ATPL (frozen) is 21 years.
