PROFESSIONAL COMMERCIAL PILOT TRAINING (ATPL)

Hundreds of our flight students have been hired by airlines around the world working as airline pilots with domestic and international airlines. Our Professional Commercial Pilot Training gives you the necessary training from the basics of flying to becoming a commercial pilot, so you do not need previous aviation experience to apply for the study program. The duration of the studies is a total of about two years and three months.

Our training is in accordance with EASA regulations.

​

SL Flight Training | Salpauslento Professional Commercial Pilot Training students are entitled to study grants for secondary education in Finland.

​

The professional pilot's study line is a modular study program because, compared to integrated courses, this option offers better opportunities to modify the training program to suit each student and better opportunities to monitor the student's progress. In modular training, the control of the student's competence and the quality of the education is at the best possible level, because in addition to the school's own theory tests, each student must take the aviation authority's (Traficom) theory tests at the end of each section. In addition, Traficom's examiner conducts a skill test for each student after each study module.

​

The sections of the professional pilot study line in the order of completion are:

  • Integrated commercial pilot training CPL(A)
