After receiving the commercial pilot licence, you can apply for further training provided by Finnair. The training includes a first officer’s course and simulator training, followed by type rating courses for different aircraft types. The training takes about two to three months, after which you will be ready to work as a first officer on Finnair flights. Once recruited by Finnair, you’ll be facing a career that can lead to working as a captain on a wide-body aircraft.
In Finnair’s MPL program, students are trained directly to fly a certain aircraft family. The training program is specifically designed to meet airline needs and includes a substantial amount of type specific training in the simulator. The MPL program is a training path specifically designed for airline use. The airline’s flight procedures and operating models are integrated into the training from the very beginning, and all elements included in the new pilot’s induction are built into the various stages of the program. Therefore, no separate co pilot training or type rating is required.
