The next step in becoming a professional pilot is to complete the ATPL ground school and build your experience as a pilot.

The ATPL-course starts twice a year in the beginning of February and September. During the ground school you will learn everything there is to know about flying and how to work in an airline. The instructors are from the aviation industry and they have experience from various areas including major and regional airlines, taxi and business flight operations and flying the air ambulance.

The ATPL-course is 8 months in duration and is divided into 13 subjects  and 2 exam sessions with the Swedish CAA.

Before, during and after the ground school you build your experience by flying time building so that you increase your total flight time to 150 hours.

After the CAA exams and after your hour building is complete you can start the next stage which is the instrument and multi engine training (IR/ME).
