Pilotuddannelse

Her kan du læse mere om uddannelsen som pilot, herunder 'Good practice-ordningen' og læringsmål.

Good Practice-ordningen

I Danmark betaler den enkelte pilotelev selv for sin uddannelse og for at undgå at piloteleverne mister deres penge, hvis en skole lukker halvvejs i uddannelsesforløbet, er branchen blevet enige om en såkaldt "Good Practice"-ordning.

Det op til piloteleven selv at undersøge, om den pågældende skole lever op til ordningen, før der indgås en uddannelsesaftale.

Good Practice

Det væsentlige i Good Practice-ordningen er at sikre, at betaling af uddannelsen sker i takt med uddannelsesforløbet. Det vil sige:

  • Der bør være en uddannelsesaftale (kontrakt) mellem skole og elev, der beskriver uddannelsens indhold, betalingsvilkår, samt hvad der sker, hvis eleven stopper uddannelsen.
  • Betaling bør først opkræves, når ydelsen er modtaget. Det betyder, at piloteleven ikke kan blive opkrævet penge på forskud, og derfor heller ikke risikerer at have betalt for undervisning, som ikke er modtaget.
  • Hvis der opkræves depositum ved uddannelsesstart, bør det være et mindre og rimeligt beløb, der kan relateres til skolens omkostninger i forbindelse med uddannelsens opstart.

Læringsmål for videregående pilotuddannelse

Læringsmål for IR/CPL/ATPL - Aeroplane og Helicopter

Nedenfor finder du et link til dokumenter, der indeholder læringsmål for de videregående pilotuddannelser - inden for henholdsvis flyvemaskine og helikopter. Læringsmålene indeholder specifikke beskrivelse af, hvad en aspirant forventes at kunne i de enkelte emner, der kræves undervist i.

Læringsmålene indeholder desuden angivelse af, hvad der kræves til de forskellige uddannelsesniveauer.

Opdaterede læringsmål der relaterer til seneste version af den europæiske centrale spørgsmåls bank (ECQB) findes i fortolkningsmaterialet til EU-forordning 1178/2011 - AMC1 FCL.310; FCL.515; FCL.615.

Udstedelse af Part-FCL-certifikat på baggrund af FAA-certifikat

En aftale mellem EU og USA betyder, at der fra 18. maj 2021 gælder nye regler for udstedelse af et EU-gældende pilotcertifikat (Part-FCL) på baggrund af et amerikansk udstedt pilotcertifikat (FAA-certifikat).

I vejledningen nedenfor kan du finde information om, hvordan du kan få udstedt et Part-FCL-certifikat, hvis du er indehaver af et FAA-certifikat.

Du kan ansøge om udstedelse af et Part-FCL-certifikat på baggrund af et FAA-certifikat ved at udfylde ansøgningsblanketten, som du ligeledes finder herunder, og indsende den til Trafikstyrelsen.

No, there is no requirement to undergo training before the skill test, but it is highly recommended.

The ATO/DTO where you have completed the recommended training programme will apply for your skill test. The skill test for the PPL, if based on a conversion from a third country licence, shall only be conducted by examiners with an EASA examiner certificate.

Contact an EASA approved ATO/DTO and have them assess how much training you will need to pass a PPL skill test, the ATO/DTO will have to make a custom training programme for you including all exercises from their PPL programme but without any flight time requirements. This recommended custom training programme will have to be applied for with the Danish CAA. Use the form Application for reduced training for holders of a third country licence

If a transfer of a UK licence was not made before January 1st, 2021, the medical certificate can no longer be accepted since it is now recognized as issued by a third country authority.

However, the theoretical knowledge examination is only valid for the issue of an EASA private pilot licence for a period of 24 months from the day when the pilot successfully completed the theoretical knowledge examination.

As an example:

  • You finished your EASA PPL theoretical knowledge examination on 25. August 2020. Your theory will then be valid for issue of a Danish PPL until 25. August 2022.
  • You finished your EASA PPL theoretical knowledge examination in 2017. Your theory is no longer valid for issue of an EASA PPL licence, but you may get credit as described under the question “What is the theoretical examination requirement”.

The skill test form shall be sent together with copies of the following supporting documents. 

  • Completed form Application for reduced training for holders of a third country licence
  • Valid ICAO licence, (UK licence issued as Part-FCL licence or a national licence),

Pilots who have more than 100 hours as pilot will have to pass a written examination in Air Law and Human Performance.

Pilots with less than 100 hours as pilot will have to undergo an approved theoretical training Programme at an ATO/DTO. The course may be reduced in hours based on a recommendation by an ATO/DTO, but pilots with less than 100 hours will be required to take the complete theoretical knowledge examination for the PPL.
