BLUE AIR is a pilot school located at Skive Airport (EKSV) in the middle of Jutland in Denmark. We can make your pilot dreams come true and let you become airborne.
The school is EASA approved and offers modular training for all pilot certificates at the best possible prices.
Many pilot students have a busy day, and most do not have the opportunity to attend theory lessons 1-2 evenings a week for a longer period. Therefore, our flying school offers a flexible and concentrated course of theory for all pilot certificates, where the teaching is concentrated on a few longer teaching evenings supplemented by some weekend courses.
Part of our theory course will be home study with, among other things, solving theory tasks in preparation for the theoretical tests. Home study allows you to study at times that suit you, as well as saving you both time and expenses for transportation.
If you prefer great flexibility in your teaching, you can also enroll in one-to-one tuition at our flight school.
The practical part of the pilot training that takes place in an airplane, can be completed within a few weeks at our department in Portugal, where the weather does not prevent a concentrated training, as weather often does in Denmark. By concentrating the practical flight training within a short period, you avoid paying for extra flight hours, which training in Denmark often entails.
Our pilot school uses both Danish and English teaching material, which makes it possible for pilot students who do not speak or understand Danish, to be taught in English.
Our concept is to offer a concentrated and flexible training program that, together with lower fees and charges in Southern Europe, offers flight training at the lowest possible price.
If you have questions about pilot training or flying, you are welcome to contact the flight school via email ba@blue-air.dk or phone +45 4050 0637. You also have the opportunity to arrange an appointment with an instructor at our pilot school, to hear more about the training or to arrange a trial lesson.

An ATPL (A) pilot certificate gives you the same rights as a LAPL (A), PPL (A), and CPL (A) certificate.
In addition, an ATPL (A) certificate entitles you to serve as commander or copilot on any aircraft type or class you are trained on, including in commercial operations.
For this pilot certificate, the same prior knowledge as for CPL (A) applies, and in addition, you must have extensive flight experience with a minimum of 1.500 hours as pilot.
To apply for an ATPL (A) pilot certificate, you must be 21 years of age.
You must be the holder of “Medical Class 1”.
Theory course:
You must have completed and passed an ATPL (A) theory course. This course contains the same subjects as the theory course for CPL (A)/IR.
Radio course:
Applicants for ATPL(A) must hold a GEN radio license, but since applicants already hold a CPL (A) with GEN radio license, there is no further radio course for ATPL (A).
Practical training:
In order to obtain an ATPL (A) pilot license, no specified practical flight training is required, but applicants must have at least 1.500 hours as a pilot, of which a minimum of 500 hours must be obtained during multi-pilot operations.

Here the same conditions apply as for CPL (A).
ATPL (A) is the “final certificate” for pilots and cannot be extended to a higher certificate.
The CPL (A) Pilot Certificate gives you the same rights as a LAPL (A) and PPL (A) certificate, and in addition, the CPL (A) gives you the right to serve as commander of any single-pilot airplane (airplanes that may operate with only one pilot) in the context of commercial aviation (flight with paying passengers or cargo).
On airplanes that only may operate with two pilots and which carry out commercial operations, you may only act as copilot with a CPL (A) certificate.
There are no formal requirements for school education, but as a CPL (A) student, you must have good knowledge of math, physical and english. In addition, you must hold a PPL (A) certificate and have a minimum of 150 flight hours as a pilot.
To apply for a CPL (A) pilot certificate you must be 18 years of age.
You must hold a “Medical Class 1”.
A color sense defect will often cause you to fail meeting requirements for obtaining an instrument rating, and without instrument rating, the use of a CPL (A) pilot certificate is limited.
Training program for CPL (A) consists of a theory course, a radio course and practical flight training.
Theory course:
The theory course for CPL (A) includes teaching in the following subjects:
The theory instruction takes place mainly as self-study at home together with some class lessons. Teaching books are mainly in English, while class instruction takes place in either Danish or English.
Each subject will be completed with a theory test in that subject.
Radio course:
If you have not already obtained a radio certificate of the type “GEN Radio Certificate” in connection with the PPL (A) training, you must perform radio course for “GEN Radio Certificate”.
This radio course includes teaching in:
In addition there will be exercises in transmitting and receiving aviation radio communication with English speech. The course concludes with exams in the following:
Practical training:
The practical flight training for CPL (A) consists of a minimum of 25 hours of dual flight maneuvering, which is flight with an instructor. If you have not already acquired night rating, you must complete a 5-hour night rating training.
The practical flight training usually takes place in smaller 2- or 4-seat single-engine airplanes with retractable undercarriage and variable pitch propeller. It is a more advanced aircraft than the airplanes normally used for PPL (A) training.
The validity and renewal of a CPL (A) pilot certificate is similar to a PPL (A) certificate.
If you work as a pilot in a charter- or airline company that performs commercial operations, you must perform a flight test internally in that company every six months.
A CPL (A) pilot certificate can be extended with e.g:
December 27. 2019
A PPL (A) Pilot Certificate gives you the right to serve as Commander or Copilot on any airplane on which you are trained – small or large – in non-commercial operations.
You can use a PPL (A) certificate for both private and business flights with family, friends, colleagues or customers in a company you may be employed with (corporate flight).
A PPL (A) pilot may not receive remuneration for flights, as this requires a commercial CPL (A) certificate. However, it is permissible to share the cost of the flight with those on board.
If you want to fly an airplane of a different class or type, than used during your flight training and for the practical skill test, it requires some difference training to that airplane.
Flying at night or under instrument weather conditions (poor visibility or fog) requires you to perform 5 hours of night training or instrument rating training, respectively.
There are no special requirements regarding school education for this pilot certificate.
Issuing of a PPL (A) Pilot Certificate requires that you have passed a medical examination by an aviation doctor.
If you only want to fly smaller airplanes with a maximum take-off weigth of 2000 kg., you must meet the medical requirements for “Medical LAPL(A)” – otherwise you must meet medical requirements “Medical Class 2”. If you have passed “Medical Class 1”, which is required to obtain CPL (A), you also meet the medical requirements for PPL (A).
Medical approval must be renewed every 1.-5. year depending on Medical Class and age.
You do not necessary have to be a “superman” to pass this medical exam. If you wear glasses, have a slight hearing loss, color sense defect or similar, it does not nessesary mean that you cannot pass the medical examination.
There is no minimum or maximum age limit for initiating PPL (A) training.
However, the minimum age for solo flying is 16 years and the minimum age for issuing a PPL (A) pilot certificate is 17 years.
Training program for PPL (A) consists of a theory course, a radio course and practical flight training.
Theory course:

Radio course:
The radio course includes teaching in:
In addition, there will be exercises in transmitting and receiving aviation radio communication in either Danish or English as you wish.
The course concludes with a minor written exam and an oral exam in radio communication.
Practical training:
Practical flight training consists of a minimum of 45 hours of flight maneuvering, of which at least 25 hours must be dual training (here you fly with a flight instructor) and at least 10 hours be solo flying (here you fly on your own).
This flight training normally takes place in smaller 2- or 4 seats single-engine airplanes, and it includes:
The training concludes with a practical skill test.
A PPL (A) pilot license for single-engine airplanes is valid for 2 years. Before expiry, the certificate can be renewed for a new two-year period. This is done by conducting a training flight of at least one hour duration with a flight instructor.
There is no requirement that you fly a minimum number of hours per year, but if you have flown less than 12 hours in the last year of the two-year validity period, you must perform the training flight with an instructor certified as an examiner.
A PPL (A) certificate can be extends with e.g:
These rights gives the PPL(A) certificate greater usefulness.
A PPL (A) pilot certificate is a basic certificate which, upon further training, can be expanded to a CPL (A) certificate.
