L3Harris is pleased to offer EASA integrated Airline Transport Pilot License for aeroplanes (ATPL(A)) training from its European Airline Academy in Ponte de Sor, Portugal.
This integrated ATPL(A) course takes aspiring pilots with little or no experience through theoretical knowledge training, single and multi-engine piston aircraft flying, Performance Based Navigation (PBN), Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) and Upset Prevention and Recovery (UPRT) to graduate with a frozen ATPL(A) license – ready for a career on the flight deck!
On successful completion of the course you will graduate with an EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) Commercial Pilot License CPL(A) with Instrument Rating (IR) which allows you to start your pilot career on commercial passenger or cargo aircraft – the big jets. An EASA license is accepted in all EASA member states and widely around the globe.
