ATPL Theoretical Knowledge (Distance Learning)
EASA-Approved ATPL Theory Training in Hungary
The ATPL Theoretical Knowledge course is a mandatory requirement for pilots pursuing a professional airline career under EASA regulations.
At Multifly, ATPL theory training is delivered exclusively in a distance learning format, allowing students to study flexibly while continuing their flight training.
The program combines Multifly’s own training portal with the internationally recognized CATS Aviation learning platform, providing a structured, exam-oriented, and comprehensive theoretical training environment.
ATPL theory can be completed as part of the All-Inclusive 0 → ATPL Modular Training Program or as a standalone theoretical course for eligible candidates.
What Is ATPL Theory?
ATPL theoretical knowledge training prepares pilots for the EASA ATPL examinations and forms the academic foundation of professional pilot training.
The course covers 13 EASA-mandated subjects, ensuring compliance with Part-FCL requirements and airline-level theoretical standards.
Successful completion of ATPL theory results in a Frozen ATPL, which becomes an unfrozen ATPL once flight experience requirements are met.

The ATPL theory syllabus includes the following 13 subjects:
- Air Law
- Aircraft General
- Knowledge – Airframe, Systems & Powerplant
