EASA pilot guides

European Part-FCL training pathways, with licences issued by national competent authorities.

These guides cover the EASA Part-FCL licensing system. Your licence is issued by a national competent authority, not by EASA itself. Choose the authority responsible for your training, examinations and licence application with your training organisation.

The initial pathway covers the private pilot licence for aeroplanes. LAPL, other aircraft categories, professional licences, additional ratings and conversions have different requirements; they are outside that pathway.
