Admission Information

Important Admission Information

Admission to the NEOS ATPL PreSelect Program requires a special request during your application to AELO Swiss Academy. This program demands a higher level of proficiency, and being admitted to the AELO ATPL Integrated Program does not guarantee acceptance into the NEOS PreSelect Program. Only students who demonstrate exceptional skills and potential will be considered.

Course Syllabus

The Neos PreSelect program syllabus, offered by AELO Swiss Academy in combination with its integrated ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot Licence) course, provides a unique opportunity for aspiring pilots to train specifically with a focus on potential recruitment by Neos, a prominent Italian leisure airline. This program blends comprehensive pilot training with a direct recruitment evaluation component, offering a clear path toward a career with Neos.

Here’s a breakdown of the key elements of the syllabus:

ATPL Integrated Course:
- The syllabus begins with AELO’s standard integrated ATPL training, covering both theoretical and practical aviation knowledge. This phase includes around 750 hours of ground school covering essential subjects such as air law, flight planning, meteorology, and human performance, along with core flight training. Students accumulate the flight hours required for their ATPL, gaining proficiency in single-engine and multi-engine aircraft operations.
- Throughout the ATPL course, students develop critical skills in handling various flight scenarios, with a focus on precision, safety, and efficiency.
PreSelect Recruitment Focus:
- The distinguishing feature of the Neos PreSelect program is the tailored preparation for Neos’ specific recruitment requirements. As students progress through the ATPL course, they receive additional training geared toward meeting the airline’s operational standards and expectations.
APS MCC (Airline Pilot Standard Multi-Crew Cooperation):
- During the final phase, the APS MCC, students undergo advanced multi-crew cooperation training, simulating real airline operations. This phase emphasizes decision-making, communication, and teamwork in a multi-pilot environment, mirroring the demands of working as a First Officer for an airline.
Simulator Evaluation by Neos Pilots:
- A key highlight of the Neos PreSelect program is that, during the APS MCC phase, recruitment representatives and pilots from Neos will visit AELO Swiss Academy to conduct simulator evaluations of the students enrolled in the program. This evaluation simulates real-world airline scenarios, providing Neos recruiters with an opportunity to assess the candidate’s technical, operational, and teamwork skills in a practical setting. It also gives students a chance to demonstrate their preparedness for a career with Neos.

This program offers a direct route from student pilot to potential airline employment, combining the robust training of AELO’s ATPL integrated course with specialized preparation for Neos’ recruitment process.
