To be eligible to participate in the AIC, applicants must meet the following entry criteria:
Note: As the selection process may take place before candidates' ATPL results are known, provisional acceptance is conditional upon performance in the ATPL subjects meeting the above criteria. The selection process will be carried out after CPL/MEIR completion. A student may be eligible to attend the AIC without having all of the entry criteria, but this will be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis e.g. You may meet the entry criteria limits (listed above), but have only sat six of the seven ATPL theory subjects.
Massey University Bachelor of Aviation students are to have completed the academic component of all four compulsory PARTS (PART 1, PART 2, PART 3A, PART 3B) of the BAv in accordance with the rules and regulations of the degree, as promulgated in the University Calendar.
Massey University Students may attend AIC selection when they have become enrolled into PART3B papers and have completed Flight Exams S3FE1 and S3FE2.
In addition to meeting the above entry criteria, candidates must successfully complete the selection process, which consists of:
All applicants will sit an aviation knowledge exam during the selection process. The exam will cover topics pertinent to commercial aviation under instrument flight rules.
The FTO will write a reference/testimonial for each student applying for the Airline Integration Course. The reference shall be based upon the student's training record, and shall include comment on the student's conduct towards, and interactions with, instructors and fellow students during training.
If you are training at an FTO that is not part of the Aviation Institute Preferred FTOs, once you have completed your CPL, MEIR and ATPL theory you can apply for the AIC. To be accepted on to the AIC you will need to meet the selection criteria and successfully complete the selection process.
It is important for you to know that the AIC will be a limited-numbers course, and preference will be given to graduates of preferred FTOs. There is no guarantee you will be able to do the AIC if you have not graduated from a preferred FTO.
