Structured Training for Experienced Pilot Progress

Yes. Simaero can help pilots identify the most suitable training pathway based on their current license, type rating status, recent experience, target aircraft, and career objectives. The final training plan will also depend on applicable regulatory requirements and course eligibility criteria.

Type rating revalidation and renewal are related, but they are not the same. Revalidation is completed before your type rating expires to keep it valid, normally through a proficiency check or equivalent assessment. Renewal applies after your type rating has expired, and you cannot exercise the privileges of that rating until the renewal requirements are completed. Exact requirements vary by civil aviation authority, and the country where you wish to get the license.

As a self-sponsored pilot, you can usually take approved training linked to your own license or rating, such as type rating, revalidation, renewal, Instructor/Examiner course, or advanced UPRT, provided you meet the entry requirements of your licensing civil aviation authority. Airline-specific training, including operator conversion, recurrent training, line training, and LIFUS, normally must be completed under an airline or AOC holder’s approved training program.

Course pricing depends on the training program, aircraft type, regulatory requirements, simulator hours, and whether the course is for type rating, revalidation, renewal course.
