How to get paid pilot education?
-PPL (Private Pilot License)
– There is a flight time of 45 hours and you will be asked to be success ground lessons exams covering 9 PPLs. You complete the flight stage with an instructor. At the end, if you are successful in the control flight, you can pilot (for hobby purposes) on single-engine aircraft without commercial purposes, but this license alone is not enough to apply to airlines.
-PIC/Time Building (Pilot in Command )
- Afterwards, it is your flight time that you need to fill in an average of 90-105 hours depending on the instrumental flight type you will receive. You can do it with a safety pilot with you.
-ATPL ground lessons:
- At this stage, 14 challenging ATPL lessons are waiting for you, you
must complete 14 lessons with at least 75% average per lesson by studying on the online system provided by your school and doing research. As a university, we are in a position to respond to 14 ground courses.)
-IR (Instrument Rating)
Your flights until this time were on VFR (Visual Flight Rules-), now you continue your IFR (Instument Flight Rules) flights, which are made with methods based on instruments and indicators in the cockpit with aircraft and simulator hours, where the airlines mostly operate their operations. 50 hours of flight, maximum 35 of which are simulators and you qualify for the control flight. (Students who have completed the ATPL ground lessons and exams are entitled to continue this stage.)
-ME (Multi Engine)
– By flying for 6 hours with a twin-engine airplane, you will receive training such as dual engine airplane control, turning off an engine, etc.
-ME/IR (Multi Engine Instrument Fly)
- You fly on a multi-engine airplane for 5 hours, according to instrument principles.
-CPL (Commercial Pilot License)
- We are approaching the end of the training, you can start your applications to companies if you are successful in the control flight after these 15-hour flights with an instructor pilot.
We have many students who successfully passed these stages and started to work as FO (first officer) in various airlines in our country. Airline companies are keener on recruiting students who have graduated from universities' piloting departments rather than commercial flight schools in civilian areas. In a sense, these students who are more disciplined in academic terms actually start their professional life the day they win the department. Discipline is the essential value of an aviator. The pilot, whose always awake and races against time, knows that where there is no discipline, aviation rules are flexible. Where rules are flexible, accidents are inevitable. It should be known that every single rule which are set up and written in aviation is written with blood. Every accident has brought a rule with it. Our students receive their education with this conscience and say hello to professional life.
Great Reasons for Being a Pilot;
Piloting is a profession that is always in demand. According to Boeing's research, 617,000 new pilots will be needed in the market by 2040. Especially the fact that plane travel is now more economical and practical also increases the requirement and interest in piloting.
