Type Rating Courses

Course Overview

  • Target customer: a pilot seeking type qualification on the selected aircraft model
  • Format: a traditional format of theoretical training followed by practical training on synthetic training devices
  • Theoretical training: delivered through eLearning courseware in a carrel or classroom at the training center
  • Systems integration and procedural training: conducted in a flight-training device
  • Practical and theoretical training: conducted on desktop simulators, flat-panel trainers, or full flight simulators

Optional Add-On Courses

Benefits

  • Manufacturer’s data and resources
  • High level of instructor expertise
  • Normal and non-normal procedures follow either Boeing standard or customer-specific policies

Course Goal

To enable pilots to obtain the relevant model type rating appropriate to the operator’s regulator agency

Section Shortened Type Rating Courses

Theoretical Training (Typical)

Theoretical training is delivered by computer-based training (CBT) courseware in a carrel at the training center (some carrels are designed around a flight-deck mock-up).

Student pilots can contact their instructor throughout the theoretical phase of the course.

Videos, interactive exercises, and stand-up instruction are provided in various course offerings.

Systems integration and procedural training is conducted in a flight-training device.

Personal Training and Checking

Practical flight training is performed entirely in the full flight simulator.

Each practical training event is preceded by a 60- or 90-minute instructor-led briefing and followed by a detailed debriefing.

Check rides are delivered by a qualified Boeing examiner, customer-assigned examiner, or approved regulator.

Each shortened type rating course concludes with an evaluation flight performed in a full flight simulator.
