Type Rating Instructor & Examiner
Courses

Setting up wind power shouldn’t be complicated. Our experts handle everything—from planning to installation—so you get a hassle-free, high-performance system.

Phase 1: Teaching and learning

The teaching and learning course provides pedagogical methods to develop appropriate teaching and learning skills. The goal is to improve your ability to train and develop trainees’ general aviation knowledge.This includes detecting trainee weaknesses, performing relevant assessments, and accounting for all human factors to bring them to proficiency.

Phase 2: Technical Training

The technical training phase emphasizes briefing and debriefing techniques and content. Following a theoretical learning module, you will take on the role of an SFI/TRI, conducting briefings and debriefings with your instructor who will act as the trainee.

Phase 3: FFS Training Phase

The practical training on full-flight simulators is specific to each aircraft type. During these practical sessions, you will conduct the entire session from briefing to debriefing. The number of full-flight simulator sessions depends on your experience.

Assessment of Competence (AoC)

The AoC session is the final TRI/SFI check. It is based on a specific session of the type rating syllabus and includes briefing, FFS session, and debriefing. The AoC is conducted under the responsibility of a Type Rating Examiner (TRE).

• A CPL, MPL, or ATPL pilot license on the applicable aircraft category.
• For a TRI multi-pilot aircraft (MPA) certificate:
  
  • Minimum 1500 hours flight time as a pilot on multi-pilot airplanes.
  • Within 12 months prior to the application date, the applicant must have flown 30 routes (including take-offs and landings) as pilot in command (PIC) or co-pilot on the relevant airplane type.

• Hold or have held a CPL, MPL, or ATPL in the appropriate aircraft category.
• Have completed the proficiency check for the issue of the specific aircraft type rating in an FFS representing the applicable type, within 12 months preceding the application.
• For an SFI(A) for multi-pilot airplanes or SFI(PL):
  
  • At least 1500 hours flight time as a pilot on multi-pilot airplanes or powered lift, as applicable.
  • Completed, as a pilot or as an observer, within 12 months preceding the application, at least:
  • 3 route sectors on the flight deck of the applicable aircraft type; or
  • 2 line-orientated flight training-based simulator sessions conducted by qualified flight crew on the flight deck of the applicable type.

Simaero provides TRI/SFI revalidation, renewal, and extension. The content and duration of these training courses may vary depending on your experience and is determined on a case-by-case basis by the ATO.

The mandatory course includes theoretical refresher modules, with additional simulator sessions.

The standardization course objective is to train TRE/SFE candidates to be able to conduct:

• Skill tests for the initial issue of a specific aircraft type rating.
• Proficiency check for revalidation and renewal of type ratings and IRs.
• Skill tests for airline transport pilot license (ATPL) (A).
• Skill tests for multi-pilot license (MPL).
• Assessments of competence (AoC) for the issue, revalidation or renewal of TRI or SFI certificates in the applicable aircraft category.

Course Duration:

• 1 day of ground school
• 4 full-flight simulator sessions
• 1 AoC
