About the flight school

Center Air Pilot Academy is a flight school that has more than 30 years of experience in training EASA approved professional pilots through the traditional ATPL pilot training. We place great emphasis on having a good professional training environment and are leaders with new trends in, among other things education, technology and pedagogy.

Pilot training and MPL (Multi-crew pilot license) are core competencies at CAPA, we are one of Scandinavia’s largest and leading flight schools with a professional pilot training program for the pilots of the future.

One of the flight school’s strengths is the close connection to many Danish and international airlines. The school’s approx. 40 permanent and freelance flight instructors work in airlines worldwide, and the management is all made up of professional pilots who know what it takes to get a job in aviation. They all know the problems and demands of aviation from their everyday lives. It is absolutely crucial that this knowledge is passed on to the next generation of pilots. Common to these experienced instructors is that they are affiliated with the flight school because they are enthusiasts. Several of our instructors have taken their own flight training at CAPA, and they are now returning to teach their future colleagues.

CAPA is based in Copenhagen Airport – Roskilde, in a campus-like environment with 55 rooms spread over 5 buildings. For us, it is important to create a safe and solid framework for teaching that provides the opportunity to become a professional pilot and instructor at several levels. Roskilde Airport is an optimal airport for school flights in several respects. Among other things, the airport has intersecting runways, which means that the wind is rarely an obstacle to the conduct of flight lessons.

The practical part is flown on a fleet of Piper aircraft (Cadet and Seneca) and Diamond (40/42). Throughout the education, a synthetic flight trainer/flight simulator is also used. The advantage of putting part of the training on a simulator is that we can effectively train the scenarios we can only talk about in the aircraft, and in general use the time more efficiently, as well as i.e., implement a final Jet Orientation Course, thus completing our pilots at the level the airlines want.

As Center Air Pilot Academy is a well-established school with good stable finances, we have chosen to be part of the Danish Transport and Construction Authority’s “Good Practice 1” scheme, which means that you do not pay in advance during your education with us, but pay a fixed amount each month.
