How similar are Turkey's SHGM regulations to EASA?

Turkey's SHY framework is heavily based on EASA regulations — SHY-FCL mirrors Part-FCL, SHY-141 mirrors Part-ATO, and SHY-M mirrors Part-M. However, there are Turkey-specific deviations in areas like medical standards, language requirements, and examination procedures. Aviatize maps these differences so schools can track compliance accurately against the SHY framework while understanding the EASA equivalencies.

Can students convert Turkish SHGM licenses to EASA?

License conversion between SHGM and EASA is possible but requires specific documentation of training hours, examination results, and competency assessments. Aviatize maintains records in a format that supports both SHGM and EASA audit requirements, making the conversion documentation process significantly easier for schools and students.

Does Aviatize support Turkish Airlines cadet training programs?

Yes. Aviatize supports airline cadet pipeline management with structured training milestones, automated progress reporting, and sponsor dashboards. Schools feeding cadets into Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, SunExpress, or other Turkish carriers can track each student from enrollment through ATPL completion and type rating readiness.

What makes Turkey an important market for flight training?

Turkey's position bridging Europe and Asia, combined with Turkish Airlines' status as the world's largest carrier by destinations, creates enormous pilot demand. The country has a well-developed network of SHGM-approved ATOs, competitive training costs compared to Western Europe, and year-round flying weather in southern regions — making it both a domestic training hub and an increasingly popular destination for international cadets.

Where EASA Meets the Middle East

SHGM SHY Compliance

Turkey's flight training sector serves two worlds — European regulatory alignment through EASA-harmonized SHY standards, and a booming domestic airline market led by Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, and SunExpress. Schools here need compliance tools that understand both the EASA heritage and Turkey-specific deviations in the SHY framework.
