Our Lebanon-based students will begin their EASA pathway in Lebanon by completing the Fundamentals of Aviation course, followed by earning their Private Pilot License (PPL) and undertaking the Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase. They will then transition to our accredited EASA training bases, Larnaca Cyprus and Crete Greece, to proceed with their ATPL theory studies and complete their EASA CPL/ME-IR final training phase. The minimum training completed in Lebanon will be the foundational theoretical phase, "Fundamentals of Aviation," while the maximum achievable includes the Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase.
The pathway enables students to complete the maximum possible portion of their training in Lebanon before committing to relocate to our other training bases, where they will ultimately graduate and start applying for their dream job all around the world.
Our ICAO Pilot Training Program is designed to guide aspiring aviators from zero flying experience (ab initio) to becoming fully qualified commercial pilots in accordance with ICAO standards. Upon completing the program, you will be absolutely equipped to pursue a professional aviation career. Training is conducted in Lebanon, with practical sessions performed at the esteemed Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport.
The program curriculum is meticulously crafted to meet the rigorous requirements of ICAO pilot training while promoting both technical proficiency and personal growth. Developed with insights from industry leaders, the syllabus ensures trainees gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for a successful career in aviation.
Students enrolled in the program will complete their entire ICAO training pathway in Lebanon. The journey begins with the Fundamentals of Aviation course, followed by earning the ICAO approved Private Pilot License (PPL) and progressing through the Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase. Trainees then advance to advanced training stages, culminating in achieving their Commercial Pilot License (CPL) with Instrument Rating (IR) for expanded operational capabilities.
This program offers a robust and cost-effective training pathway for aspiring pilots, equipping them with the qualifications to excel in diverse aviation environments.
Your Pilot Training is divided into the following modules:
At the end of your training, you will receive a minimum of 170 hours of flying.
The Fundamentals of Aviation course is meticulously designed to introduce newly enrolled cadets to the intricate world of aviation. Its primary objective is to provide a strong foundation for those aspiring to obtain an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) by covering essential topics such as STEM and Aviation English, Air Law, Aircraft General Knowledge, Principles of Flight, Human Factors, Meteorology, Communications, Performance and Limitations, and Navigation.
Through interactive classroom sessions, cadets will develop the critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills necessary to navigate the aviation industry with confidence. They will also gain a strong sense of professionalism, safety awareness, and ethical conduct, key attributes of a successful pilot.
This course is open to students as young as 15 years old, serving as an excellent “self-assessment tool” for those curious about aviation. It helps them determine their aptitude and passion for the field before committing to full flight training. For those already set on becoming pilots, this course represents the first structured phase of their journey, equipping them with the foundational knowledge needed before advancing to flight training and subsequent theoretical and practical phases leading to their ATPL License.
With expert instructors, a well-resourced learning environment, and a curriculum designed to ensure a seamless transition into modular training, this course is the perfect starting point for local and international students eager to begin their aviation careers.

At our Lebanon base, we provide ICAO-approved Private Pilot License (PPL) training, designed for individuals aiming to fly recreationally or embark on a professional pilot career. This PPL can be converted to other licenses, such as the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) PPL, offering flexibility for international aviation pathways. Our program establishes a robust foundation, progressing students from initial training to achieving their Commercial Pilot License (CPL) directly under ICAO standards or via conversion to EASA to access EASA-CPL, and ultimately to their Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL). Upon completing the course, graduates are qualified to fly solo or with passengers for private purposes, while gaining the confidence and skills necessary for advanced flight training.
The purpose of our Instrument Rating IR course is to give you the skills and experience needed to make approaches in poor weather and fly in Class A airspace. This course is typically one of the final elements in commercial flight training.
Training occurs in our state of the art FNPT II simulator. Once the required skill level is achieved, the pilot will progress onto our advanced aircraft, equipped with a Garmin G1000 Glass cockpit to fly IFR routes and make instrument approaches into some of the largest regional and international airports.
A minimum of 30 hours of flying must be completed, Exact training hours will depend on previous flying experience.
