The flying training will include at least 240 hours, including Pilot Flying and Pilot Not Flying hours, in both an aeroplane and a simulator, and the MCC requirements, and will cover the following:
Phase 1 - Core flying skills
Specific basic single-pilot training
Phase 2 - Basic
Introduction of multi-crew operations and instrument flight
Phase 3 - Intermediate
Application of multi-crew operations to a multi-engine turbine aeroplane certified as a high performance aeroplane.
Phase 4 - Advanced
Type rating training within an airline environment
Flight experience not completed in a simulator will include:
- the requirements for any type rating you need
- upset recovery training
- night flying
- flight solely by reference to instruments
- the experience required to achieve the relevant airmanship.
You will be given training in asymmetric flight in an aeroplane or a suitable simulator.
Each phase will include both instruction in the underpinning knowledge and practical training. Your course syllabus and progress will be assessed throughout to ensure that the course is relevant and that you learn the essential skills.
The training course must include at least 12 take-offs and landings, performed under the supervision of your instructor in the same aeroplane that you are completing the type rating for.
