    • Learn & Pass instantly! Our students focus on 2-3 subjects at a time, rather than memorizing all 13 subjects before the first exam.

    ATPL Theory FAQ

    Yes, it is fully accepted in every EASA member countries.

    Your license also can be transferred to any other EASA member state.

    Optionally you can choose your exam location so you will get the certificate of your chosen Country

    A frozen ATPL is an expression referring to the qualifications of a pilot who has passed all 13 ATPL theoretical exams but has not yet met his or her flight requirements. It would become 'un-frozen' when the flight experience requirements are met.

    The ATPL license will remain valid for a period of 3 years from the date of efficiency for issue of the CPL(A) or IR(A) and 7 years from validity date of the IR(A) entered in the CPL(A). Once the ATPL Theory exam has been passed, you have 7 years to complete the process as the Frozen ATPL Certificate is valid for 7 years.

    Minimum study hours in ATPL theory course

    • - for pilots with PPL(A): 650 hours total
    • - for pilots with IR(A): 500 hours total

    Total duration of the EASA ATPL Theory course inculing exams is typically 5-7 months.

    Any ICAO or EASA PPL license is enough to start the course. No other ratings are required.

    You have 18 months to complete all 13 exams from the first exam taken.

    It depends on which CAA you are taking the exams at. Usually there is no limitation on the number of subject, however the time is limited. At the Hungarian CAA you have 6 hours.

    No, you can obtain it anytime before the skill test.

    Once you accumulate 1500 total flight hours and 500 multi-pilot time, you can take the ATPL skill-test to obtain an ATPL licence without taking any additional theory exams. This is what commonly referred to as "unfreezing the licence". The primary distinction between an ATPL and a CPL licence lies in the authority to serve as a Pilot-in-Command (Captain) in multi-pilot commercial air transport. With a CPL, you can only act as a co-pilot (First Officer).

    Thanks to Easy Pilot for supporting me in converting my license and helping me achieve the best results. Fortunately, I took all 13 subjects in 4 parts and passed all the exams without failing any subject. Everything was well-organized and went smoothly. I hope other pilots also take advantage of your services and achieve the best results.

    I will be lying if i said ATPL Exams are easy however, there are things that can help reduce that tension and unnecessary pressure. Easypilot made it simpler to tackle these exams by a fantastic trio, question bank (ATPLQ/AVIATION EXAM) you choose one, books and finally online weekly classes and in some occasions two classes in a week.

    What i really liked is they hit at the right spot without having unnecessary CBT s where you have to go slide by slide listening to a computer voice reading a slide to you. I tried that in PPL and it was awful experience. Easypilot all i had to do is focus on books, bank (ATPLQ) and finally classes this way i could wrap my head around subjects and will benefit the most out of these classes. I attended them while i was fully or partially prepared in that subject with some questions here and there and most of the time got those clarified and even a simpler way of understanding them.

    The people who hosted the classes were actual commercial pilots or used to be which is a huge plus i get to get the feeling of how professional pilots are and what experiences they had.

    I will highly recommend easypilot if you can take matters in your hand and study hard.

    Good luck to everyone i finished ATPLs in 8months and 1 weeks with an average of 88%.

    I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Easy pilot ATO, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. As an ICAO-licensed pilot seeking to obtain my EASA license, their guidance and support throughout the process have been invaluable.

    The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a thorough understanding of the material. Their commitment to my success was evident at every step, and their expertise has undoubtedly contributed to my progress.

    What's more, the staff was very accommodating when I faced scheduling conflicts and helped me reschedule my exams without penalty. Their flexibility and understanding were greatly appreciated during a stressful time.

    I wholeheartedly recommend easy pilot to any pilot looking to further their aviation career. Their dedication to their students' success and their passion for aviation make them an invaluable resource.

    Mit Easy-Pilot konnte ich meine ATPL-Theorie einfach von zuhause aus machen. Es waren keine Termine in der Flugschule für die Vorprüfungen notwendig und auch die Anmeldung für die Prüfungen bei der CAA waren immer schnell erledigt. Das Easy-Pilot Team ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, die Theorielehrer waren auch alle äußerst kompetent. Mit ein bisschen Selbstdisziplin kann man mit Easy-Pilot im Vergleich zu einer Flugschule in Deutschland viel Geld sparen. Sehr zu empfehlen!
