With start in August 2026 (and 2027-2030), we are proud to offer 14 state-funded YH positions for integrated airline training, providing you with the chance to earn a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). The training will take place full time at Lidköping Hovby Airport.
Our Integrated Airline Program is carefully designed to meet the highest standards set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This program covers every critical stage of a pilot’s training, blending classroom learning with real-world flight experience. Students progress through rigorous phases that build foundational flying skills, mastery of instruments, multi-engine proficiency, and advanced teamwork techniques using industry-standard simulators. Our aim is simple yet ambitious—to ensure every graduate leaves with the skills to navigate a complex, multi-pilot cockpit environment confidently.
Minimum grade E/3/Pass in the above or equivalent knowledge.
During the program you will study both theory at basic level and study 13 ATPL theory subjects followed by written exams for the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority. Ground training will be based on classroom training, distance learning and self-studies.
During phase 1-3 you will learn how to fly an airplane and focus on basic flying skills. The training will be conducted in one of our single engine Diamond DA40 aircraft.
Phase 4 is all about instrument and multi-engine flying. After this phase you have acquired all the knowledge and skills to be ready to take your License Skill Test where you will gain your wings and become a certified pilot.
A-UPRT is the new standard in aviation regulations and is a requirement for anyone starting their first type rating in a multi-pilot environment. Course objective is for the pilot to understand and experience dynamic upset and develope resilience to execute proper recovery during an upset situation.
The last part of your training is the APS-MCC. Here you and a partner will team up in our Airbus A320 simulator and learn how to work together in a multi-pilot environment. In other words, how to operate an airliner.
