IATPL-H INTEGRATED AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT COURSE

The Integrated Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL-H) course is designed to provide pilots with comprehensive training to operate single-engine and multi-engine helicopters, as well as in multi-pilot environments, with VFR ratings for commercial air transport.

This program integrates theoretical and practical training in a coordinated manner, so that the knowledge acquired in the classroom is reinforced and consolidated during flight and simulator sessions.

Theory classes are held in our classrooms located at the Sabadell Airport.

Flight training takes place at the airport itself, using new Cabri G2 helicopters—featuring state-of-the-art design and technology to enhance learning and safety—as well as an AS355N twin-engine helicopter, which is certified for instrument flight.

The course also includes the use of the Coptering simulator, an EC-135 FNPT II, which is suitable for MCC training and ideal for practicing emergency procedures.
