ATPL training costs
The route to a commercial pilot licence (Frozen ATPL) is an intensive pathway, both in terms of time commitment and investment. At E-Flight Academy you follow this training modularly and in a sustainable way, with partly electric flying and CO2 compensation for conventional propulsion. This way you learn to fly with the future in mind and reduce your ecological footprint.
Below you will find an overview of the training components you need to obtain a Frozen ATPL – including practical hours, theory and associated costs.
In the table you can see that we offer two options. The first is in the form of a Modular ATPL Full-Time programme where you work with multiple students to obtain your Frozen ATPL licence in a short time. The price shown includes everything you need, except your medical examination. The second option is the individual ATPL programme. All course prices are listed here, but exams and the accumulation of flight hours are not included in the total price. Of course the price in the first column is a good estimate.
To help you get off to a good start we offer an onboarding session specifically for this pathway.

Note, the price for the individual programme appears lower not because it is cheaper, but because we do not include everything in this package. You can take parts of your training elsewhere or gain flight experience outside E-Flight Academy. You also pay for skill tests outside your training, but of course these must still be paid for.

Notes on this table
PPL Theory
- The PPL theory for the individual pathway is entirely self-study. For the full-time programme you receive 64 hours of classroom instruction, and all required materials (books, flight computer, etc)
- For the individual programme the theory exam and the language proficiency are not included. For the full-time programme these are included
Skill tests
- All skill tests (exams) are included in the full-time programme, except for retests.
Hour Building
- To be eligible for your CPL skill test you need a minimum of 200 hours experience. In the Full-Time programme you will fly enough hours with our aircraft to meet the requirement. We also have instructors available to help you plan the flights. For the individual programme you can of course also rent our aircraft, but you may also do so elsewhere.
CPL training
- This entry refers to CPL practical training. We assume you have fully completed your Instrument Rating and ATPL Theory.
ATPL Theory
- The Full-time programme includes 264 hours of classroom instruction. Here too you receive all required books, online learning environments and materials that you need.
