Direct Issuance of Pilot Licences

Read the official rule

The Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) provides a process for the direct issuance of various pilot licenses, including the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL). To qualify, applicants must complete specific training at an approved training organization (ATO). After passing required exams and skills tests, they submit necessary documents, such as medical certificates and training completion certificates, to obtain the license.

Key points

  • QCAA issues pilot licenses directly to students who have completed training at approved organizations.
  • For a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), applicants need a valid Private Pilot Licence (PPL) and must meet certain training and testing requirements.
  • The process includes submitting documents like medical certificates, skill test results, and course completion certificates.
