Free Webinar Shows Brazilian Pilots the Path to Pan Am Flight Academy’s ATP-CTP Course

Brazil – EPA Training Center, Latin America’s largest regional aircraft training provider and Pan Am’s official representative in Brazil, will host a free webinar on November 12 at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) for pilots interested in taking the ATP-CTP course.

The webinar will be led by Federico Navarro, Chief Commercial Officer at Pan Am, together with the EPA team. They will explain how the program works, what the prerequisites are, and what the Brazilian pilot’s journey looks like, from first contact to training completion. Audience questions will be submitted in writing and answered live.

The course

The ATP-CTP combines ground school and simulator training, with a focus on airline operations. The program serves three profiles: pilots pursuing the FAA ATP certificate, pilots transitioning to jet aircraft and airline operations, and professionals who need to convert their license to the U.S. standard. The certification is also a strong asset in international hiring processes.

Pan Am starts new classes every week, allowing pilots to plan their travel and training around their own schedules. EPA supports Brazilian students at every stage: prerequisite assessment, program selection, enrollment, scheduling, and follow-up through completion.

“Many Brazilian pilots have the experience and technical background to earn the U.S. certificate, but they don’t know the path. Together with Pan Am, we offer that structured path, with support from start to finish,” says Flávio Farias, CEO of EPA Training Center.

Who should attend

The webinar is intended for pilots holding a commercial pilot license (CPL), ICAO language proficiency Level 4 or higher, and a valid passport. A total of 1,500 flight hours is recommended, as this is required in the final stage of ATP certification. Registration is free at https://epa.aero/roadshow/.

After the ATP-CTP

Beyond the ATP-CTP, the partnership with EPA provides access to other FAA-standard Pan Am programs: initial type ratings, recurrent training, and license conversion, on platforms including the Airbus A320 and A330 families, Boeing 737 NG/MAX, 747, 757, 767, and 777, as well as ATR, ERJ, and CRJ regional aircraft.
