Phoenix East, a leader in professional aviation training, encourages international students to complete the optional Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) Airline Transport Pilot's License Theory Course through distance learning, at the same time as studying for FAA ratings and certifications in-residence at the Daytona Beach, Florida facility. Phoenix East has partnered with Hub'Air, a JAA-approved facility to make this possible. Utilizing proven distance learning teaching techniques, you learn quickly and effectively by proceeding at your own pace, studying the JAA material 24/7 at your convenience.

This is an exceptional opportunity for the international student who plans to fly in a JAA member country and wishes to complete training as quickly as possible. The course curriculum is approved by JAA, and training is in accordance with JAR approved training standards and procedures.

Begin Learning on YOUR Schedule, study from anywhere in the world, 24/7.
The course begins on your schedule; it commences as soon as you enroll. The JAA requires a minimum amount of study hours; the average course completion time is 26 weeks, based on 30 hours study per week. A mandatory one-week Exam Preparation Course, held in Naples, Florida, is also included after completion of each of the two modules. This consolidation course is offered once a month prior to each exam date and designed to reinforce your knowledge and prepare you for the exams.
(PLEASE NOTE: The two Exam Preparation Courses are required for pilots with Private Pilot Licenses and Commercial Licenses. Holders of FAA Airline Transport Licenses are typically exempted from attendance).

For students located outside the U.S. for part or all of their JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge training, time zone differences become irrelevant; you have the added benefit of studying whenever it is convenient for you, 24/7, at home or while traveling.

The multiple exams required for the JAA ATPL take place at various exam centers in the US and U.K. The testing locations nearest you, as well as the exam dates, will be provided to you by Phoenix East.
