ADVANCED PILOT TRAINING COURSES

The below courses are available for those who have completed their AB-initio Course and hold a CPL License :

  • MCC

    Multi Crew Cooperation

    Competency is a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes required to perform a task to the prescribed standard. The objectives of MCC training are to develop the technical and non-technical components of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to operate a multicrew aircraft.

An alternative means of obtaining a CPL License which incorporates in some form the AB-initio course and MCC course is the MPL course. This course is only available with the collaboration of an airline: Please note that this course is currently frozen and therefore unavailable. 

  • MPL

    Multi-Crew Pilot Licence Training Program

TYPE RATING COURSES

For Pilots looking to receive Airbus Type Ratings:

  • AIRBUS - CCQ

    Airbus Cross Crew Qualification (CCQ)
    This is a process during which a pilot who is qualified on an Airbus aircraft type can fast track his/her qualification to another Airbus aircraft type. The aforementioned process is with regards to the Airbus fly by wire family and cover type rating courses between A320, A330, A340, A350 and A380 that Airbus named Cross Crew Qualification (CCQ) and operations of more than one type named Mixed Fleet Flying (MFF).
    Note: Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver CCQ courses on the A320, A330, A340, A350 and A380 aircraft.
    The Training Course is offered for EASA or UK CAA License holders. 
  • AIRBUS - A320

    This course is for pilots that wish to obtain an A320 Type Rating and it is conducted according to EASA Part-FCL Regulations. An A320 type rating can be conducted either as a Standard Transition A320 Type Rating or as a fly-by-wire CCQ Course to the A320.
    Note: Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver CCQ courses on the A330, A340, A350 to A320 aircraft.
  • AIRBUS - A330

    This course is for pilots that wish to obtain an A330/350 Type Rating and it is conducted according to EASA Part-FCL Regulations. An A330/350 type rating can be conducted either as a Standard Transition A330/350 Type Rating or as a fly-by-wire CCQ Course to the A330/350.
    Note: The A330 is a common Type Rating with the A350. Therefore, when a pilot gets qualified on either aircraft, the endorsement on his/her licence is A330/350. Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver CCQ courses on the A320, A340 to A330/350 aircraft.
  • AIRBUS - A340

    This course is for pilots that wish to obtain an A340 Type Rating and it is conducted according to EASA Part-FCL Regulations. An A340 type rating can be conducted either as a Standard Transition A340 Type Rating or as a fly-by-wire CCQ Course to the A340.
    Note: Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver CCQ courses on the A320, A330/3550 to A340 aircraft.
  • AIRBUS - A350

    This course is for pilots that wish to obtain an A330/350 Type Rating and it is conducted according to EASA Part-FCL Regulations. An A330/350 type rating can be conducted either as a Standard Transition A330/350 Type Rating or as a fly-by-wire CCQ Course to the A330/350. However, if a pilot has initially conduct an A330 course, in order to fly the A350 would need to conduct a A330 to A350 Differences Training.
    Note: The A330 is a common Type Rating with the A350. Therefore, when a pilot gets qualified on either aircraft, the endorsement on his/her licence is A330/350. Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver CCQ courses on the A320, A340 to A330/350 aircraft.
  • AIRBUS - A380

    Note: Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver CCQ courses on the A320, A330/350, A340 to A380 aircraft.
  • ZFTT

    Zero Flight Time Training

    Zero Flight Time Training (ZFTT) refers to the training given on an aircraft type rating course that is carried out entirely in a simulator. Normally, following a skill test on a new aircraft type, pilots need to complete aircraft landing training (known as ‘Base Training’). However, experience pilots may be eligible to conduct instead ZFTT in a Simulator.

    The Training Course is offered for EASA or UK CAA License holders. 

For Pilots looking to receive Boeing Type Ratings:
