Overview
The EASA Conversion course converts a pilot’s licence held in accordance with ICAO Annex 1( e.g. FAA, CASA, Indian DGCA, Transport Canada etc.) , in compliance with EASA regulations. The training is designed individually according to the pilot’s licence and background experience, such as the amount of hours or types of aircraft he/she has operated with.
During the course the pilot will also be familiarised with the local procedures, while being informed about the latest legislation and EASA operations, since he/she will operate in an EASA-regulated airspace.
Theoretical training stage
The Theoretical knowledge training stage of the EASA Conversion course, includes 13 theoretical lessons and a total of 680 hours of ATP theoretical knowledge training through a procedure of distance learning and self-studying.
The pilot is given access to an online platform, which includes all the appropriate tools(study guides/ lecture notes/ question bank/ progress tests etc.), while being at our instructors’ complete disposal at all times for any clarification or guidance needed.
In addition the pilot will attend a number of lectures in the classroom for the courses of IR/PBN & UPRT before the realization of the flight training part.
