The duration of an initial type rating training course varies depending on the aircraft type and the specific requirements set by each Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). It may also be influenced by the inclusion of optional modules such as multi-crew cooperation (MCC), extended diversion time operations (EDTO), or low visibility operations (LVO).
Obtaining a type rating training course certification is mandatory for all airline pilots who aim to fly the aircraft types that are covered by our full-flight simulator fleet.
Our courses necessitate a complete flight crew. If you require a partner, Simaero can pair you with another pilot to share the cost of the training. Please note that when pairing two pilots, the training is contingent upon both pilots' payment, availability dates, and confirmation of visas.
Airline policies vary regarding type rating training course fees. Some airlines may cover the complete cost of the training in exchange for commitments from the pilot, while others may require pilots to assume partial or total expenses upon hiring. Additionally, certain airlines only hire already-rated pilots. We recommend that you research the specific arrangements of the airlines you’re considering applying to.
