Our EWA.OY Commercial Aircraft Pilotage; ATP(A) Integrated ACS Program offers three degrees: a Canadian Commercial Pilot License, the issuance of an ATP (A) Integrated Airline Transport Pilot License and the issuance of an attestation of college studies authorized by the ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur du Québec. The ATP (A) integrated training meets the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (license conversion required in some countries). This training is the most comprehensive currently offered in Canada. The ATP (A) offers more elaborate and career oriented airline transport pilot theoretical courses, “Crew Work – CRM” training on a Transport Canada approved advanced level 5 simulator and the opportunity to write your airline transport pilot exams as part of your training (when this option normally requires 750 hours of flight experience).
In addition, unique in Quebec, our ACS program includes 50 hours of flight time on a multi-engine airplane, an asset for any pilot wishing to become a flight instructor or first officer in a company.
ATPA INTEGRATED LICENSE
Transport Canada has developed an integrated airline transport pilot training to meet the international criteria set out by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This would greatly facilitate the conversion of an integrated license in another country. We refer to this license as the “ATPA Integrated License” or “frozen ATPL”. ATPL refers to the “Airline Transport Pilot” license. A pilot, even one who has completed modular training, becomes an Airline Transport Pilot when he has (i) 1500 hours of flight experience and (ii) a score of 80% or more on Transport Canada Airline Transport Pilot Examinations (SARON and SAMRA examinations). The pilot may write his examinations only if he has 750 hours of flight time and will be marked “Airline Transport Pilot” on his license when he reaches the 1500 hours mark.
The ATPA “frozen” integrated license offers more elaborate and career-oriented theoretical courses for airline pilots, crew work training (CRM) on a Transport Canada approved advanced Level 5 simulator, and training for the preparation of SARON and SAMRA exams and the successful completion of these exams with only 228 hours of experience. As a result, the success of these two examinations will be “frozen” for a period of 5 years so that the pilot has time to accumulate the required 1500 hours of flight time.
Basically, this training is given on a full-time basis according to a set schedule that is not at the student’s discretion. It is more rigorous than modular training and requires more hours of theoretical instruction, simulator training and instrument flying hours. A minimum of 500 hours of theoretical instruction must be given in the classroom, with Transport Canada refusing online courses.
It includes CRM (Crew Work Course), High Altitude Courses, Turbine and Theory to prepare for SARON and SAMRA exams.
