No academic level is required prior to the start of the course.
Yes, it is highly recommended to pass an aeronautical medical examination before the start of the course.
To start flying as a pilot, the usual first step is to obtain the Private Pilot License (PPL) (A). This license allows you to fly single-engine aircraft under visual flight rules and serves as the foundation for further training toward professional licenses such as the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) (A) or the Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) (A).
No, prior experience is not required to begin pilot training. Many students start their training from scratch and progress step by step through the different courses and ratings.
Training is conducted with single-engine and multi-engine aircraft specifically adapted for training, as well as certified simulators like the FSTD FNPT II, which allow for practicing complex procedures in a controlled environment.
To become a pilot, you need to pass a medical examination from an authorized aviation medical examiner. The required level of medical certification depends on the type of license you are pursuing. For example, a Class 1 medical certificate is required for commercial pilots, while a Class 2 medical certificate is typically needed for private pilots. The examination ensures that you meet the necessary health standards to fly safely.
Some phases of the training, especially the theoretical part of certain courses, can be done online through specialized platforms, offering greater flexibility for the student.
The number of hours depends on the license you want to obtain. For example, the Private Pilot License (PPL) (A) requires a minimum of 45 flight hours, while to become a professional pilot, you must accumulate many more hours of flight experience.
Pilot training requires dedication, discipline, and consistency. Throughout the process, students gain theoretical knowledge and practical flight experience, which allows them to develop the skills necessary to operate an aircraft safely.
Once the relevant professional licenses are obtained, pilots can access various opportunities within the aviation sector, such as commercial airlines, executive aviation, or specialized aviation jobs.
It is not mandatory to have a level of English in the initial phases of the ATPL (A) modular course, but a basic level is required for the more advanced phases. Candidates who only want the private pilot license can choose between taking the course in Spanish or in English in its entirety.

The flight practices are conducted at Reus International Airport, an ideal environment for aviation training that allows operations for most of the year and helps students become familiar with the procedures of an international airport.
After completing professional training and obtaining the relevant licenses, pilots can pursue various opportunities in the aviation sector, including commercial airlines, executive aviation, or specialized aviation jobs.
Yes. Many courses can be arranged based on the student’s availability, allowing them to combine aviation training with other professional or academic activities.
Instrument flight allows a pilot to operate an aircraft using only the cockpit instruments, without external visual reference. This qualification is essential for professional aviation and for flying in adverse weather conditions.
Becoming a flight instructor allows you to gain professional experience by accumulating flight hours while training new pilots. Many pilots start their professional aviation careers by working as instructors.
There are several flight schools authorized by the Spanish Aviation Safety Agency (AESA). It is important to choose a center with experience, its own fleet, and good operational conditions for training. At Mediterranean Flight School, training takes place at Reus International Airport, an ideal environment for pilot training.
