Integrated Pilot Courses
Harv’s Air is please to announce our new Integrated Pilot Courses!
Commercial Pilot
Commercial Pilot with Multi Instrument
Frozen Airline Transport Pilot
The first question that comes up with Integrated courses is what is the difference between integrated courses and the traditional way of flight training. The answer is that in exchange for a tightly integrated focused course with more ground school, Transport Canada allows for the reduction of flying hours and additional privileges such as being able to write the Airline Transport examinations early.
For example the Integrated Commercial Licence requires 150 hours total time, which is a 50 hour reduction of flight time from the traditional Commercial Licence course. Considering that a hour is about $120, this is a savings of $6000! Another advantage is that student loans will give more credit toward the program and all of the training is tax deductible instead of small parts of the training in the traditional way of training.
So what’s the catch?
Each and every hour of flying is scripted and has requirements to complete. One can’t just fly around the patch and expect to get credit toward this licence. Each flight has a clear objective and plan, not just to“build hours”. The ground school requirements are higher, and their is a calender time limit (36 months). Specifically because of the ground school requirements, there is specific start time (September and April).
There are 3 different Integrated Courses, which one should I take?
CPL (A): The holder would earn a Commercial Pilot Licence, The advantage of this program is that you save 50 hours!
CPL IR (A): The holder would earn a Commercial Pilot Licence and a Multi IFR in 190 hours.
ATPL (A): The holder would earn a Commercial Pilot Licence and a Multi IFR in 205 hours. This course includes a multi crew course, and to write the Airline Transport Exams.
Why would I do this program?
Looking to reduce cost by reducing flight hours.
Prefer a structured organized course with a group of students.
Would like the student loan and tax advantages.
Ablity to write the ATPL exams and be “done” with school in a single course instead of coming back to school when you have 1500 hours to do the ATPL course.
Why would I not do this program?
You already have a pilot licence or a student pilot permit with more then 30 hours of flying experience. A limited amount of credit can be forwarded from previous flight training.
You prefer the flexibility of the traditional way of training, you are able to structure your own training.
Prefer to work on your own.
Can’t wait until a September or April start date.
