PRE-MPL TRAINING

BUILDING BLOCK / REDUCED DISTRACTION LEARNING

Theory Training:

EASA ATPL 14 FCL.310 theory subjects culminate

to GCAA & ENAC Exams over 34 weeks (2 phases)

Post-theory, Building Blocks of learning

1. Basic Flying Device – BFC – pitch, attitude, power – principals of flight

2. Communications Practical Course – CPC - ICAO Standard Radio Telephony

The FOCUSED, REDUCED DISTRACTION learning allows

Non-English first-language Students a better opportunity

to build off learning in stages without being overwhelmed or distracted.
