In European airspace, which is regulated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), pilot training organisations are a central part of the aviation infrastructure. These organisations are divided into two main categories: Approved Training Organisations (ATO) and Declared Training Organisations (DTO). Both play a crucial role in the training and certification of pilots, but differ in their operating rules, the scope of training they are authorised to provide and the approval procedures they are subject to.
Approved Training Organisation (ATO)
An Approved Training Organisation (ATO) is an EASA-certified organisation that offers a wide range of pilot training, including training for commercial pilot licences, instrument ratings and type ratings for specific aircraft types. ATOs must fulfil strict requirements for their curricula, training facilities, equipment and instructors. Approval as an ATO requires an extensive approval process that includes the submission of detailed training plans, manuals and safety management procedures, all of which are reviewed by EASA or national aviation authorities.
