Training Programs

IATPL

The International Airline Transport Pilot License (IATPL) course is a full-time programme conducted by Fly High Academy at Hartamas and at other locations chosen to maximise flying opportunities within Malaysia.

On completion of a minimum of 2 years training, the graduate will be awarded a International Commercial Pilot’s Licence with Instrument Rating (CPL/IR). All students will study theoretical knowledge up to International Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence (IATPL) standard, allowing the straightforward issue of this qualification as soon as the mandatory minimum flying experience has been achieved. This is 2,500 hours of flight time, which must include 1000 hours of multicrew flying. Between graduation from the training course and accumulating 1,700 hours, the pilot acts as a First Officer, exercising the privileges of the CPL/IR, which during this time is referred to as a Frozen ATPL.

Financial Assistance 

Students will either be funding their own training, usually having secured bank or parental support or, will have been selected by an airline for full or part sponsorship.

As of June 10, 2012, Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors may use the savings in their EPF Account II to fund and finance their own or their children's pursuit of the Commercial Pilot Licence with Instrument Rating (CPL/IR) Course.
