AB-INITIO PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM
DENTO GROUP has one of the most succesful ab initio airline pilot training
programs in Cyprus. The latin adverb “ab initio” translates as “from the
beginning”, thereby used as an industry standard airline oriented flight training
program for cadets from zero experience to becoming a commercial pilot.

The AB-inition course can be conducted as a modular course (broken into different courses) or as an
integrated course. DENTO GROUP only conducts this course as a modular course as it feels that this
allows the cadets to gain the valuable flight time experience while progressing along throught the
course modules.

Course Analysis

Phase 1:

PPL Theoretical Training (100 hrs): The purpose of the

theoretical training is to teach the syllabus for the nine
theoretical subjects and to pass the relevant exams.
For this purpose, DENTO has created its own e-learning
platform which allows online learning, followed by a
minimum of 2 days classroom review before sitting the
PPL exams. The Cyprus Department of Civil Aviation
authority has approved DENTO as one of the two
external examination centers, therefore all our cadets
shall take their exams in the comfort of their own
academy.

PPL Flight Training (45 hrs): Once a minimum level of

theoretical training is completed, the students could
commence flight training congruently with their
theoretical training.

Note: Prior to the 1st solo, all students should obtain

a Class I Medical. Additionally, all trainees should
demonstrate at least an Operational Level of English
Language Proficiency (ELP) before their PPL skill test.

Phase 2:

Night Rating (5 hrs theory + 5hrs practical): This

phase also includes theoretical and practical training.
Therefore, here too, “Dento” has created its own
e-learning platform which allows online learning,
followed by instructor briefings and finally by the flight
training.

Phase 3:

ATP Theoretical Training (650 hrs): The purpose of the

theoretical training is to teach the syllabus for the
thirteen theoretical subjects and to pass the relevant
EASA exams. For this purpose, we cooperate with Bristol
Ground School and the course is conducted three days
per week, as an in-classroom ground school.
Hour Building: This part would be conducted once a week.

Note: Weekly training plan entails, A) theoretical training to be conducted three days per week with
25% of the time been allocated for review, and B) flight training (hour building) to be conducted once
weekly.

Combined MEP / IR / CPL (A) in sequence : This is the last and final phase of training which is
completed as shown above. Once the training is completed, then the IR and CPL skill tests could
be conducted.

Licence Issued:

Once all the phases are successfully completed, the cadet is eligible to obtain a CPL
/ IR / MEP and once the cadet has completed 1.500 hrs of flying experience, the cadet
will be eligible to obtain an ATPL.

The APS MCC training course includes advanced swept-wing jet aeroplane training
and airline operations scenario training to equip a pilot with the knowledge, skills, and
attitudes required during their initial type rating training to the standards generally
required by Airlines.

However, when at the same time we combine an APS MCC course together with a Multi
Pilot Airplane (MPA) Type Rating Course such as for the A320 or B737 300-900, the cadets
have gain additional knowledge and proficiency allowing for enhanced employment
 Course Cost & Payments
