The Executive Programme for Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) is a complete training pathway designed to turn aspiring cadets into fully licensed commercial pilots, ready for the aviation industry.
✅ This certifies you to fly for compensation or hire (e.g., airline, charter, cargo), It's a step above a Private Pilot Licence
✅Gain the qualifications and confidence to fly for commercial purposes. Our CPL training builds strong technical foundations and flight discipline, preparing cadets for real-world flying careers.
✅This is an add-on qualification that allows you to fly in low-visibility and instrument-only conditions (e.g., bad weather, clouds).
✅Master the skies in all weather conditions. The IR module trains cadets to fly using only instruments — a critical skill for commercial airline operations and long-haul flights.
✅A Frozen ATPL means you’ve completed all the theoretical exams for the Airline Transport Pilot Licence,
but haven’t yet met the required flight hours (typically 1,500) to "unfreeze" it.
✅ A Frozen ATPL is a key airline entry requirement and puts you on the path to becoming an airline Captain in the future.
