EASA Conversion with a minimum of experience. 50h PIC IFR

Step 1: EASA PPL acquisition (requires a total flight time experience of 100 hours)

The requirement for transfer is a basic license in which an IR rating can be entered. If you have already taken the theoretical ATPL exams, the passed subjects of Human Performance and Air Law can be counted towards the PPL. Otherwise, these subjects must be completed in a theoretical examination. Assuming that you have at least 100 hours of flying experience, the following requirements apply:

• 2 hours of single engine flight training for the acquisition of the class rating for single-engine land aircraft (SEP)
• approx. 1.5 hours practical test PPL

2. ATPL theory training

You complete the theoretical ATPL training conveniently via a distance learning course. The training can be started at any time and uses the most modern teaching materials. The training is web-based and also includes the prescribed brush-up instruction. The lecturers explain in great detail and cover difficult topics within the subject areas. More information can be found at www.theorieschule.aero . This is followed by the theoretical test at the aviation authority.

3. IR description

If you have at least 50 hours of flight experience as PIC under IFR, no theoretical or practical training is required. You can take the exam immediately. If you are not sure and still want to prepare, please refer to our price list for the prices. For the practical exam we charge the following hourly rate:

• approx. 1.5 hours practical test

4. Acquisition of Multi Engine Rating VFR / IFR

If you are aiming for a career with an airline, you will need a multi-engine IR as requirement for the type rating of a commercial aircraft. The training is divided into a VFR and an IFR part.

VFR

• 7 hours of theoretical training
• 6 hours of flight training multi engine

IFR

• 5 hours of flight training multi engine
• approx. 1.5 hours of flight time for practical test

5. Acquisition of CPL

Holders of an instrument flight permit can shorten the CPL training to 15 hours. This presupposes that the night flight authorization is valid or a foreign night flight authorization is recognized by the competent authority. If this is not the case, at least 5 hours of flight training must also be flown at night. At least 5 hours of CPL flight training must be carried out on an aircraft that is approved for at least 4 people and is equipped with a controllable pitch propeller and retractable landing gear. This results in:

• 5 hours of flight training multi engine
• 10 hours of flight training single engine
• approx. 1.5 hours for the practical test

After graduation, this leads to an EASA CPL with ME IR incl. ATPL theory credit (frozen ATPL).
