South African headquartered and globally known, 43 Air School has been approved to conduct EASA online Theory and Writing of the EASA (European) Exams at the CPL and ATPL levels.

The current economic climate has negatively affected many opportunities for local and overseas pilots. The option to convert existing ICAO Commercial or Airline Transport Pilot Licenses to EASA (the European License) is now a reality. These exams are open to any current license holders who meet the requirements and are not limited to 43 Air School students.

“43 Air School’s new EASA solution offers candidates a 100% remote learning EASA solution supplemented with live online modules. It will go a long way to assisting ICAO-licensed individuals to convert their licenses to EASA and that opens a whole world of flying jobs in Europe. The actual flight test will still have to be conducted in European airspace, and we have a further solution in place for that. All 43 students already study and work from the EASA material for our industry only iATPL or iCPL and it makes sense to add this real value option,” says 43 CEO Attie Niemann.

Exams are conducted online using iPads provided by 43, and results are available immediately after the exams. In addition to the material, 43 will also offer an additional online EASA Question Bank on the Pilot exams Global portal. Exam sittings start from September 2022.
