Airline pilot in French

Commercial pilots in France fly under EASA rules. You need an ATPL or an MPL issued by an EASA authority (in France, the DGAC), a type rating for the aircraft and a valid class 1 medical certificate. Training goes through the ENAC public school, airline cadet programmes or approved private flight schools; integrated courses lead to a frozen ATPL, which becomes a full ATPL with experience. Non-EASA licences must be converted. A good level of English is mandatory, and French is expected by most domestic carriers.
