Modular EASA pilot training from PPL to CPL at Malta International Airport
01 Overview
European Pilot Academy (EPA) is a pilot training school at Malta International Airport. Transport Malta lists it as approved training organisation MLT.ATO.02 under EASA rules. The school gives 1993 as its founding year and says it has trained more than 3,500 pilots. Its base is in the Falcon Alliance building at Security Gate 1 of the airport and overlooks both active runways.
All courses are modular. The Zero to Airline pathway links them into one route: PPL, ATPL theory, night rating, basic instrument flying module, hour building, multi engine rating, instrument rating and CPL. The school gives around 18 to 20 months from no flying experience to a commercial pilot licence with a frozen ATPL. Applicants must be at least 17, hold a Class 1 medical certificate from a Transport Malta approved examiner and pass the school's pre-entry test. ATPL theory can be studied by distance learning or in class, and the exams are held at Transport Malta.
Pilots who already hold a licence can join single stages, such as the CPL with instrument and multi engine ratings, upset prevention and recovery training or the flight instructor course. The fleet includes a Diamond DA42 twin with a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit, Piper PA-28 and Tecnam single engine aircraft, a Pipistrel Virus SW 121 and an Entrol FNPT II simulator. The school publishes no course fees, intakes or information on visas and accommodation; ask us for a quote.
The Zero to Airline pathway links the school's modular courses into one route, from no flying experience to a commercial pilot licence with a frozen ATPL in around 18 to 20 months.
