✈️ Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Program |
From Screening to Core Course:
Candidates undergo a rigorous selection process, including computer-based aptitude tests, group exercises, interviews, and flight simulator checks. While similar to airline entry tests, successful candidates then attend a specifically designed Core Course to assess knowledge absorption and cockpit skill development.
The Core Course lasts 5 weeks and combines theory with hands-on practice. Trainees perform solo flights after approximately 20 flight hours and conclude with a Pilot Confirmation Check. Those who succeed continue to the integrated ATPL course.

ATPL Training – Beyond Regulation Standards:
Cadets complete over 800 hours of theoretical training in small, fully digitalized classrooms, ensuring high interaction with trainers. Beyond exams, group presentations and exercises foster teamwork. Airbus also offers visits to the Airbus factory and other aviation organizations.
The flight phase includes basic VFR/IFR, Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT), and multi-engine piston training. Training aircraft include Cirrus SR20, Grob G120A-F, and Diamond DA42, with approximately 200 total flight hours including EASA-certified FNPT2 simulator sessions.
Final JOC/MCC training lasts ~3 weeks and can be completed at any Airbus Training Centre worldwide, such as Toulouse, France. Graduates are then ready to start type rating or optional conversion courses.
