OUR TRAINING COURSES

The below course is for individuals looking to get a Private Pilot License for pleasure flying: 

  • PPL

    Private Pilot License

    PPL Theoretical Training (100 hrs) with DENTO flight school in Cyprus: The purpose of the theoretical training is to teach the syllabus for the nine theoretical subjects and to pass the relevant in-house 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 and then relevant in-house exams.

    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.

Our modular course structore for individuals looking to start their aviation career. The said modular course is referred to as AB-Initio Pilot training course and includes the following:

The below courses are available for those who have completed their AB-initio Course and hold a CPL License :

  • MCC

    Multi Crew Cooperation

    Competency is a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes required to perform a task to the prescribed standard. The objectives of MCC training are to develop the technical and non-technical components of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to operate a multicrew aircraft.

An alternative means of obtaining a CPL License which incorporates in some form the AB-initio course and MCC course is the MPL course. This course is only available with the collaboration of an airline: Please note that this course is currently frozen and therefore unavailable.
