The 0-ATPL(A) training programme is the shortest and most effective way to obtain the airline transport pilot licence and land a job with an airline afterwards. We have been trusted by many customers. Goldwings Flight Academy is currently training several dozen student pilots in the 0-ATPL(A) programme. The training duration depends on the individual availability of the student pilot and his or her learning progress. However, it is possible to complete the whole training within a year, considering the student pilot does all necessary theoretical and practical courses during that time. The 0-ATPL(A) has been developed based on the European PART-FCL aviation regulations and many years of experience of our training staff. It is consulted with representatives of leading airlines on an ongoing basis.

If you’re dreaming of working as an airline pilot, an important element of the training is to learn from staff who also fly planes for airlines. That’s why our biggest advantage is our staff who include active airline pilots. Our Head of Training is Arkadiusz Jesionek, who is a captain of Boeing 737 and Pilatus PC-12NG . Apart from that our additional asset is the training equipment such as the training platform for DA-42 + dedicated simulator, the only such one available in Poland.

The price is determined by the choice of plane and method of payment. You will find out everything from Head of Training Arkadiusz Jesionek, who will offer you the most optimum solution for you. The duration of the programme depends largely on the student pilot and his or her availability. Our experience shows that the 0-ATPL(A) programme may take from one to three years.
