The commencement dates for our type rating training courses are adaptable. Once you express intent, if you don’t have a partner, we will match you with one, and determine the most suitable dates based on our next available slots.

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).

Your type rating is valid for 12 months from your certification date. To maintain its validity, you must undergo an annual type rating revalidation skill test before the expiration date. If you miss the deadline, a refresher type rating course is required. The duration of which depends on your situation and the time lapse with the expiration date. Please note that to obtain a valid type rating on an EASA license, you must complete your type rating training course using one of these two options: either undertake a zero-flight time training (ZFTT) course within 21 days after the skill test or undergo base training within 6 months following the skill test.
