Type Rating Airbus A320 Course

Course Objectives

Our goal is to provide integrated instruction based on theoretical teaching, flight simulator training, and actual flight, all geared towards obtaining the complete knowledge and skills to operate a multicrew aircraft in a CRM operation environment.

We prioritize safety and standard procedures for performing normal, abnormal, and emergency operations, paying special attention to the limitations, systems, and performance of the aircraft.

This comprehensive approach ensures success in the final tests and proficiency checks, meeting the standards required by the authority. Additionally, we offer a Course Type Rating Airbus A320 for those seeking specialization in this specific aircraft model.
