Frequently Asked Questions

For candidates aiming for a pilot career in Turkey, planning which phase of training to complete where is crucial. The flight-intensive and most expensive parts of pilot training are the PPL and PIC (time building) phases. In Turkey, these costs are significantly higher due to fuel, taxes, and operational expenses.

Therefore, completing PPL and PIC in Europe offers significant advantages in both cost and operational efficiency. While PPL training in Turkey averages €20,000 and PIC flight hours cost €250-300, in Europe PPL is approximately €9,950 and PIC flights are around €150/hour.

After completing practical flight phases, continuing with more theory-focused licenses like CPL and ATPL in Turkey eliminates the need for license conversion, making the process more predictable and economical.

Starting training in Europe enables candidates to gain operational flight experience in busy airspace and adapt early to international aviation procedures and air traffic control (ATC) communication. The training provided in this environment significantly contributes to candidates becoming more equipped, competent, and competitive profiles both during training and in later career stages.

Additionally, instructors effectively using English as the training and operational language supports candidates in naturally mastering aviation terminology, standard radio communications, and professional aviation English. This strengthens communication skills and enhances operational safety in international aviation environments.
