To begin a professional pilot career flying an airplane, it is essential to invest in training by attending either a modular or integrated ATPL course at an “Approved Training Organisation” (ATO).

Why Become an Airline Pilot?

Becoming an airline pilot means reaching the level of a professional pilot in command of an aircraft, and experiencing the indescribable thrill of taking off from the runway. Not to mention the sense of accomplishment that comes with safely landing after each flight.

The aviation industry is made up of extraordinary and unique people who share a passion for flying with energy and enthusiasm.

Obtaining an airline pilot license represent a crucial investment in training and make individuals smarter. By learning to apply logic and rationality to decision-making, pilots know how to manage available resources in a successful way.

Requirements to Become an Airline Pilot

To become an airline pilot, you must attend a training course at an Approved Training Organisation (ATO), which is an aviation school authorized by the Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile (ENAC) to offer ATPL courses in Italy.

At an airline pilot school, you can obtain all the licenses and qualifications necessary to be hired by an airline and become an airline pilot.

To begin a modular ATPL training course, the following requirements must be met:

  • You must be at least 16 years old to begin your training.
  • You need to have passed a Class 1 medical examination, as required by European regulations. This ensures you meet the health standards to fly commercially.
Difference Between Modular ATPL Course and Integrated ATPL Course

Asteraviation offers to its cadets a modular ATPL course, which is divided into several consecutive modules.

The modular course provides greater flexibility to accommodate the individual needs of each cadet.

The integrated course, on the other hand, combines all the knowledge into a single intensive program. However, it must be completed within 24 to 36 months, and if the course is interrupted, no license is granted.
