BePilot CADET IATP

COURSE
The BePilot program is an initiative of Vueling Airlines, S.A. and CESDA that combines
training and a possible direct professional career in Vueling. It is promoted with the aim
of training young people with a university degree, as commercial aviation pilots, to,
once they have passed the course, become part of the team of Vueling Airlines pilots.
This proposal offers the completion of the ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot License)
course, lasting 24 months. After passing this phase, the students of the program will
carry out the A320 type rating for 8 weeks and will be ready to be hired by Vueling as
first officers.

1. REQUIREMENTS
The requirements to enter this course are the following:
1. To hold a University degree
2. To be younger than 35 years old
3. To pass Vueling/BePilot Selection Process
4. To pass the Initial Medical Examination Class
 2. RESOURCES
CLASSROOMS

AIRPORTS
Flights are conducted mainly in 2 international airports: Reus (LERS) and Lleida (LEDA).
FLEET
CESDA owns a fleet of 11 aircraft:
• 5 Diamond DA20-A1
• 2 Diamond DA20-C1
• 1 Piper PA28R-201
• 3 Diamond DA42-NG
SIMULATORS

Reus Airport.
 3. GROUND TRAINING
The required 750 hours of theoretical face-to-face classes (14 ATPL subjects) are
divided in 2 MODULES:
MODULE 1 covers 7 subjects (480 hours)
• 021 Aircraft General Knowledge (60 hours)
• 022 Instruments (60 hours)
• 040 Human Performance & Limitations (55 hours)
• 050 Meteorology (75 hours)
• 061 General Navigation (90 hours)
• 062 Radio Navigation (90 hours)
• 081 Principles of Flight (50 hours)
MODULE 2 covers the other 7 subjects (270 hours)

Once Cadets pass all 14 SENASA exams, they will do the DA20/PA28 course and exam.
 4. FLIGHT TRAINING
The course has 238 flight hours, divided in 4 FLIGHT PHASES:
• RATP1: 82:30 SE flight hours (DA20)
• RATP2: 50:30 SE flight hours (DA20/PA28) and 28:30 FNPT II hours
(Diamond Simulation DA42)
• RATP3: 10:00 ME flight hours (DA42) and 6:30 FNPT II hours (Diamond
Simulation DA42)
• RAPT4: 60:00 FNPT II MCC (ENTROL A32, A320)
Once all theoretical training has been completed, Cadets will move to a University
Residence in Lleida to start RAPT1 and first part of RATP2 in Lleida (LEDA) airport, until
they pass the CPL/SE flight exam in PA28.
Cadets will come back to Reus to finish flight training in Reus International Airport
(LERS), where they will do the DA42 course and exam. They will complete RATP2 and
RAPT3 before they face ME/IR flight exam in DA42.
Finally, they will do the MCC course (RAPT4) and the A320 Type Rating.
