Military Pilots - Conversions

Please note: Military conversions are based on Dutch national regulations and are therefore intended for pilots with a Dutch military background. Have you obtained a pilot licence while serving in the military? If so, you may convert it into an EU licence in accordance with European regulations. Exemptions for fighter, transport and helicopter pilots are laid down in the so-called RNLAF Credit Reports, prepared by CLSK, ILT and EASA. Applications for conversion are processed through the Kiwa Register.

Each category has its own pathway, including a mandatory bridge course at an ILT-approved ATO. The bridge courses at Orbit Groundschool are officially approved and prepare you optimally for the national CBR examination.

Self-study

A major advantage of this distance learning programme is that you can organise your own study pace and schedule. The home-study programme is systematically structured into weekly and daily tasks. With approximately fifteen study hours per week, a completion time of around three months is achievable for this single module, excluding examinations.

A military pilot typically completes the military bridge course within approximately three months. The total duration depends on your personal time investment.

During self-study, you will be guided through all subjects and topics via a simple module-based study programme. Your study progress is monitored through mandatory progress tests. These progress tests are administered after a varying number of chapters and can be completed at home on your computer. With a single click, you can then submit the test online to Orbit Groundschool for review.
