Course Outline.

Whether you start during fall or spring, within 20-24 months, you will receive all the required certificates to start your career as an airline pilot (CPL ME/IR with frozen ATPL).

Course Outline For January:

When you start the course in January, the first two semesters will be theoretical instruction in Block 1 and then VFR training, followed by Block 2 of theoretical instruction. The last two semesters will start with Block 3 of theory and then IFT Training and end with Phase 5 MCC/APS

Course Outline For August:

When you start the course in August, the first two semesters will be theoretical instruction (ATPL theory). After completing the theoretical part you will start flight training phases 1-5. VFR training will be phases 1-3 and then IFT Training phase 4, with the last flight training being phase 5 with MCC/APS

Course Outline For April:

The structure for the April class is still being finalized, but everyone will start with block 1 before flying. 

Whether you start during fall or spring, you will complete the same theoretical subjects and flight training. This means you will have all the required licenses to start your career as a pilot in an airline.

FLIGHT PROGRAM

The OSM Aviation Academy Flight Program consists of five phases designed to develop your skills from basic flight maneuvers to advanced airline operations.

Phases 1, 2 & 3 (VFR Training): Focus on fundamental flying skills, starting with the four fundamentals of flight—climbs, descents, turns, and straight-and-level flight. Students progress to takeoffs and landings before completing their first solo flight. Phase 2 reinforces these skills with repetition, additional solo training, and night flying. In Phase 3, students advance to flight planning, navigation, cross-country (CC) flights, and solo cross-country exercises to build confidence in longer flights.

Phase 4 (IFR Training – C172/DA42 & B737NG Sim): Introduces instrument flying (IFR), where students fly in and above the clouds, practicing approaches and operating solely by cockpit instruments. Training includes B737 simulator sessions and Supervised Pilot in Command (S.P.I.C) exercises. Students transition to multi-engine and complex aircraft operations, focusing on emergency procedures and handling abnormal situations.

Phase 5 (B737NG Sim – APS/MCC): Covers Airline Pilot Standard (APS) and Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC), essential for transitioning to airline operations. Training emphasizes Crew Resource Management (C.R.M.), flight navigation (F.N.), and operational challenges. Students engage in Line-Oriented Flight Training (L.O.F.T.), simulating real-world airline scenarios to refine teamwork and decision-making skills.

Additionally, students complete Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (A-UPRT) to meet EASA requirements for commercial pilots. This includes training on abnormal attitudes, stall recoveries, and spin recovery techniques. Upon successful assessment, graduates may proceed to Type Rating and Operator Conversion Courses based on airline demand for B737 and B787 pilots.
