Dear pilot, no matter whether you completed PPL at our training Flowchart bellow graphically describes scope of training from 0 to

structure of training modules you are about to undergo, describe each
of them in detail and hopefully respond frequently asked questions.
We also provide detailed and current training quotantion.
Just as during PPL our advanced modular practical training could take
place at both of our airports LKRO and LKLN. On the top, there is
also a new ATPL classroom, just as FNPTII simulator located in
Prague, allowing to comfortably commute students who fly at either
of our airports.

Although we do recommend to our PPL students to take their class 1

medical before attending PPL course (to eliminate hidden health or
mental problems on time), there is a chance that you still hold just
class 2. Shall that be the case, arrange your class 1 examination ASAP.
You could do so at the The institute of Aviation Medicine Prague or
any other AMC in Europe (e.g. Vienna).

No matter whether you are new to our ATO or our recent PPL
graduate, new training contract for the provisions of aircraft rental,
ATPL theory just as other modules shall be concluded between 0-ATPL training flowchart
applicant and Aviatický klub, s.r.o. before further training occurs.
Access to our intranet reservation system will however remain
unchanged for our current clients/PPL graduates.

navigation flight of 300NM with 2 full stops. Estimated skilltest time
is 2h on C-172RG with designated examiner.

8. Advanced UPRT

Due to frequent in-flight loss of control related incidents, ICAO and

EASA have lately placed high emphasis on upset prevention and
recovery training system. Not only basic UPRT is part of your CPL
training, you are also expected to complete advanced UPRT before
attending first type rating on multi-pilot aircraft.

Unlike basic UPRT, advanced UPRT requires fully aerobatic aircraft

to be used on which 3 flighthours are forseen. There is also reasonable
amount of theory in the AUPRT module. Instead of skilltest at the end
of the training, the applicant recieves certificate of completion only.

Shall you be seeking a job in a company outside of EASA reagon, you

are likely not required to undergo this training.
