Professional Courses
These programmes are designed to meet the requirements for a Flight Crew position with a European Airline. Upon graduation, you will be qualified with at least an EASA CPL with ATPL theory and additional qualifications both FAA & EASA, depending on which course you choose. Programme provide pure EASA qualfications and you will graduate with a EASA CPL and IR with ATPL theory (This is what other schools mistakenly call a Frozen ATPL – in reality there is no licence called a Frozen ATPL) and MCC.
The 3 options below indicate exactly which licences and ratings you will obtain and confirms the cost and the number of hours flown for each.
EASA Fast Track Programme is highly recommended and is by far EFT’s most popular programme. It reduces your overall costs and we do not underestimate how important this is for many. It also gives greater flexibility during training, reduces the time taken to get qualified, and ultimately gives you a more broad experience which ultimately makes you a better more rounded pilot.
Please bear in mind the courses tend to fill around 4 months in advance – so plan ahead!
In order to become an airline pilot, you must obtain the highest level of aircraft pilot certification: an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). It includes ATPL theory (14 EASA subjects), a Commercial Pilot’s Licence and Instrument Rating (CPL/IR) and a Multi-Crew Cooperation Course (MCC).
This licence allows you to work as a First Officer with an airline once you have completed a specific aircraft type training course, and in time become a captain.
In order to obtain the ATPL, you can follow either the integrated or modular training route.

Flight Training Center
ALL ratings and certificates in an accelerated format to individuals who require proficiency in their training but have a limited time frame to complete the training due to other commitments.
approved Part 141 Career Pilot Program develops the student pilot from zero experience through to 250hrs and commercial pilot status. This is a structured syllabus that encompasses a classroom learning type experience along with flight and ground schooling. Applicants are enrolled into the program and graduate much like at college or university. All of the training undertaken is documented in the students training record and issued to the student upon graduation.
There are many differences between AFT Center and its competitors. If your rating is time critical, and you feel you cannot put aside the time to come to us.
most popular cross-country course allows you to fly across the nation whilst receiving your flight instruction at the same time. Many aspects of the Instrument rating and the Commercial Pilot ratings can be completed on a long cross-country. This saves you time and money.
course for you.
As a domestic student under part 61, if you do not pass your course, we pay for your additional training ourselves. All you have to pay for is your aircraft time and examiner fees. Also, any weather related delays would not be charged to you. AFTC will continue the training to make up for those days.
Over 50% of our business is through repeat and referrals. This is a testimony to the quality and care put into our training at AFTC.
Each training package is individually designed for you the student.

COURSE OUTLINE
PHASE I: GROUND SCHOOL
The first four months of training are dedicated to studying aviation theory and gaining a solid comprehension of both maths and physics. This phase is delivered by our experienced ground school instructors in fully air-conditioned, modern classrooms.
Ground school subjects include:
Meteorology
Air regulations
Radio transmission
Navigation training
General technical training
Aircraft-specific technical training
Sound knowledge of maths and physics, particularly the following subjects, will help you master your ground school:
Basic trigonometry
Ratios and proportion
Basic algebra
Indices
Properties of a circle
Time/speed/distance calculations
Equations of motion
Newton’s laws
Equation of continuity
Bernoulli’s theorem
Sound challenging? It certainly is, however it is the material you will need to know throughout your aviation career.
instructors will prepare you for the mandatory examinations. The exams will be taken according to the schedule and spread out over the whole course of your training program.
PHASE II: FLIGHT TRAINING
This is what you really come to flight school for. You’ll take off with our experienced flight instructors in our new trainer aircraft. And when you land after your first solo flight, it’s a rush you’ll never forget.
Flight training is divided into various lesson elements, and you will fly approximately 200 hours
