The Frozen ATP programme at AeroSur is an advanced theoretical training programme for qualified pilots who have already completed their professional flight training. It provides comprehensive ATP-level knowledge in airline operations, preparing pilots for the academic and regulatory requirements associated with progressing toward an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) and pursuing professional airline career opportunities, subject to the applicable licensing, examination, experience, medical, and regulatory requirements.
Program Overview
The Frozen ATPL programme provides in-depth training across the core theoretical subjects required for advanced airline operations, including air law, aircraft general knowledge, instrumentation, flight performance, flight planning, human performance, meteorology, general navigation, radio navigation, operational procedures, principles of flight, communications, and mass and balance.
Through structured theoretical instruction, students develop a deeper understanding of aircraft performance, navigation systems, meteorological conditions, operational procedures, human factors, and the technical principles underlying commercial air transport.
Eligibility Requirements
Must be 18 years of age or older, unless they hold legal residency in Uruguay.
Must already hold a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
Possess a valid DINACIA Class 1 Aviation Medical Certificate.
International applicants must demonstrate adequate English language proficiency for professional aviation training.
International applicants must hold a valid passport and be eligible to obtain a Uruguayan Student Visa or appropriate training authorization, unless they hold legal residency in Uruguay.
