Type Rating Course
Are you interested in advancing your career in aviation? Whether you are considering enrolling in a comprehensive Boeing 737-800 course, joining an airline programme, or working towards obtaining a Type Rating, the possibilities are endless. Take your passion for aviation to new heights and explore the exciting opportunities that await you in this dynamic industry.
Integrated ATP
Integrated ATPL is a direct approach to pilot training and takes you from zero flying experience to a qualified commercial pilot licence.
Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL Theory + MEP/IR/CPL/MCC) Integrated is a comprehensive training program, which will help you to acquire the professional skills needed to become a commercial pilot. The program will enable you to operate as a co-pilot in a multi-pilot environment, on multi-engine airplanes and to obtain the frozen ATPL license.
The study program is divided into two main parts: Ground School (theory) and Practical Training (flights).
The Ground School will take place at the Mercator Aviation facility in Debrecen, Hungary and Cork, Ireland plus other locations.
A-320 TRI ( A ) And SFI Course
Thanks to this course you will be able to reach another goal in your professional career, to become an A320 instructor.
The objective of the TRI/SFI instructor course is to train you to obtain the A320 TRI or SFI (A) instructor certificate.
This training programme provides the Instructor Pilot with the theoretical knowledge and resources necessary to train candidates for the A-320 Type Rating.
MCC Course
The aim of the Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC) course is mainly focused on cockpit coordination, decision-making and distribution of different functions, managing the workload between the pilots of an airplane in a multi-pilot operation in total safety.
Throughout the training of our MCC programme, emphasis is placed on the cooperation of the crew in normal procedures, abnormal procedures, and of course emergency procedures.
This qualification is required by all airlines in order to join their selection process, also necessary prior to undertaking a Type Rating.
Our MCC Course is carried out on an A-320 Level D simulator where the student pilot will learn to operate in the cockpit both as commander and co-pilot whilst also familiarising themselves with flying a jet aircraft.
Advanced UPRT Training
The objective of this program UPSET PREVENTION RECOVERY TRAINING / UPRT is to familiarise pilots with possible situations that could occur in flight.
The latest studies of air accidents show how the loss of control of an aircraft is one of the highest risk factors that can generate fatal accidents in our industry.
For this reason, it is a fundamental program for pilots where they acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to anticipate and avoid loss of control in flight and develop the appropriate techniques to recover from adverse situations that may occur.
The completion of the UPRT course is mandatory for all pilots since December 2019, who wish to go on to an airline Type Rating. (EASA Regulation GCL 745)
Therefore, it is an essential requirement to be eligible for a position as a pilot within an airline.
Upon successful completion of the UPRT Course the pilot will be competent to handle both the physiological and psychological aspects of such situations that may be experienced in flight and have the necessary skills to apply appropriate recovery techniques in loss of control situations.
MEP CRI ( A ) Course
A CRI is the abbreviation for Class Rating Instructor. The CRI (A) MEP course is a training program that trains instructor pilots (IR) / PPL(A) EASA or CPL(A) EASA pilots who meet the requirements to teach and transmit their specific knowledge and skills in terms of teaching theoretical knowledge, flight and simulator instruction in multi-engine piston aircraft (MEP).
MEP/ IRI ( A )
The Instrument Rating Instructor (IRI) course qualifies the holder of the IRI(A) rating to act as an instructor in any approved training organisation, providing Instrument Flight Instructor (IR) training.
Flight Instructor Course FI ( A )
A Flight Instructor rating will enable you to work as a Flight Instructor, teaching ground school and providing flight training.
There is hardly anything more satisfying than teaching people how to fly aircraft. It is a very responsible job but, at the same time, a very rewarding one.
As a Flight Instructor, you will build a lot of experience in your logbook in a short time. It will help you achieve your ultimate goal of becoming a commercial airline pilot.
