✈️ Type Rating Program
Train to Fly the Aircraft You Were Born to Command
A Type Rating is a regulatory certification required to fly large, complex, or jet-powered aircraft. Whether you’re aiming for the Airbus A320, Boeing 737, or other transport category jets, our Type Rating program prepares you with the knowledge, skill, and confidence to operate safely and professionally.
What Is a Type Rating?
A Type Rating is an endorsement added to your Commercial Pilot License (CPL) or Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), allowing you to fly a specific aircraft type. Aircraft like the Airbus A320, Boeing 737, ATR 72, and others require pilots to hold this certification.
