Students that have gained their private pilot licence and have a VFR night rating are eligible to move on to the next stage of modular commercial flight training and begin building their 100 hours as pilot in command and enroll for the all-important Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) theory training.
Here, Pilot Path have partnered with some excellent flying schools in the UK & USA to offer both part-time and fast-track hour building options. When deciding where to hour build, don’t assume the cheapest rate possible is the right way to go. Structured hour building is viewed more favourably at interview and assessment stage with airlines as opposed to ‘fuel burning’.
If you are a part-time student and wish to complete PIC hour building alongside your existing working commitments , we have excellent rates and flexible payment plans over 20 months available on the following aircraft in Liverpool John Lennon Airport:
For students who wish to fast-track this stage of training, please click below to see our hour building plans in the USA where all 100 hours can be completed in less than 5 weeks.
The ATPL theory course involves students completing theoretical knowledge training and examination across 13 subjects which are required for the issue of an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). For this training, Pilot Path have partnered with none other than the very best – Bristol Ground School located in Clevedon UK. Best of all, when you enrol with BGS through Pilot Path you’ll pay no extra cost and still receive support from our team and your Designated Engagement Manager (DEM) throughout.
Students can elect to complete the training on a full-time or part-time (distance learning) basis. All course material is delivered digitally to students by iPad and students are supported through an online learning management system and, in class, by subject matter experts. Here’s what’s included in your enrolment fee:
Hours building ensures that as a pilot wanting to fly commercially, you have the knowledge, skills and experience to be able to achieve the level required to pass the CPL and IR skills tests.
At Pilot Path, we coordinate closely with our partner flight schools to deliver structured hour building guides and retrospective mentor support helping you get the most out of this leg of your flight training journey. Hour building is the time spent becoming a more rounded pilot, practising all of the things you are taught during your Private Pilot’s Licence and to learn to fly within the much tighter tolerances found in the CPL & IR skills tests.
ATPL (Air Transport Pilot Licence) training takes place in the form of 13 examinations split over various subjects. This is a mandatory requirement when completing your commercial pilot training and will heavily compliment the ground-based training you have already completed. Your ATPL theory course can be complete in either Hybrid distance and class learning or fully remote depending on the partner school you choose to attend.
ATPL exams are created to check you have the correct level of theoretical knowledge that you’ll need to become a pilot and handle any situation that may occur whilst flying. While some of our students may find the prospect of studying for their ATPL daunting, with the right study materials and support, many of our students pass their exams first time.
