WHY CHOOSE
THE A320 TYPE RATING?

The Airbus A320 is one of the most widely operated commercial aircraft in the world, forming the backbone of fleets for airlines across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. Its widespread use, standardized cockpit philosophy, and strong demand among operators make it an ideal choice for pilots entering airline operations.

As a first type rating, the A320 provides an excellent foundation, offering exposure to modern Airbus systems, automation, and SOP‑driven operations that are directly transferable across the A320 family. This makes it not only a practical choice, but a strategic one opening doors to a wide range of airline opportunities from the very start of a pilot’s career.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The course includes the Airbus A320 Type Rating, comprising theoretical instruction, A320 Aircraft Procedural Trainer (APT) training, and Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training.

THEORETICAL TRAINING - 7 DAYS

The ground school training consists of computer-based training (CBT), theory, and APT sessions. Students start their ground school learning online. During the theory part, 4 tests and a final examination must be passed.

APT A320 SIMULATOR TRAINING - 9 DAYS

With us, you will have access to our Aircraft Procedure Trainer (APT), a high‑fidelity replica of the Airbus A320 cockpit. This allows you to prepare for and apply your theoretical training in a realistic environment under the guidance of our qualified A320 type‑rating instructors, before progressing to the Full Flight Simulator (FFS).

This structured training pathway provides significantly more hands‑on practice, enabling you to maximise training effectiveness and competency development compared to proceeding directly to the FFS. Once this phase is successfully completed, you will then progress to Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator training.
