PAQuick answers
Quick answers
How do I pick the right type rating?
Choose the rating in the right order and match it to the aircraft and operator you are aiming for. The page suggests starting with the A320 and sets out checks to run before you commit, including bond and sponsorship terms that we read with you, so you understand the full cost and obligations first.
What aircraft types can you arrange?
Type rating training is arranged through partner training providers for airliners, widebody aircraft, regional jets, turboprops and business jets. The page groups them by type so you can see where the A320 and other ratings fit, before you ask for a match with a provider and a written quote.
Do you help with bond and sponsorship terms?
Yes. We read bond and sponsorship terms with you before you commit, and the page lists this as part of getting matched to a rating. We do not guarantee airline hiring, so compare the full cost of your licence, including the type rating, before you sign anything with a provider or an airline.
