Convert your third-country pilot license into a full EASA ATPL

ICAO/FAA to EASA ATPL(A)

This flexible program is designed for professional pilots who already hold a CPL or ATPL issued by ICAO-compliant authorities (such as FAA) and wish to obtain an unrestricted EASA Part-FCL license. Whether you’re actively flying or preparing for a transition into the European market, we provide a custom-built conversion path adapted to your background and flying experience.

The License Conversion Course allows pilots who have completed their training under FAA or other ICAO standards to obtain a full EASA ATPL(A) or CPL(A), as applicable. Training and assessments are defined on a case-by-case basis, depending on previous qualifications, type ratings, and flight experience. The program ensures regulatory compliance while minimizing unnecessary repetition.

We conduct license conversions for two main groups of pilots. Candidates must meet the following minimum criteria:

The training syllabus is defined individually by our Head of Training and based on prior experience. It typically includes theoretical knowledge bridging modules, flight training hours (if required), and preparation for skill tests and theory exams.
