Pre & Post Type Rating Classes
Pre & Post Type Rating Classes – What Are They?
Type Rating is a specialized training program required for pilots to operate a specific aircraft type (e.g., Airbus A320, Boeing 737). Pre and Post Type Rating classes help pilots prepare for and reinforce their type rating training.
1️ Pre-Type Rating Classes (Before Type Rating)
Objective: To help pilots prepare for their Type Rating course by covering essential theoretical and technical knowledge before they begin simulator training.
What’s Covered in Pre-Type Rating?
Aircraft Systems & Operations (e.g., Airbus A320/Boeing 737 systems)
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Flight Management System (FMS) Basics
Emergency Procedures & Memory Items
Performance & Limitations
Basic Multi-Crew Coordination (MCC) Principles
Simulator Familiarization & Checklist Flow Training
Why Pre-Type Rating is Important?
- Helps pilots grasp complex aircraft systems before entering the simulator phase
- Increases confidence and efficiency during actual Type Rating training
- Reduces the chance of failing expensive simulator sessions
2️ Post-Type Rating Classes (After Type Rating)
Objective: To reinforce and refine the knowledge gained during Type Rating and prepare for airline simulator assessments and operational flying.
What’s Covered in Post-Type Rating?
Refresher on Aircraft Systems & SOPs
Line-Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) Simulations
Handling Abnormal & Emergency Situations
Mock Airline Simulator Assessments (IndiGo, Air India, etc.)
Multi-Crew Coordination (MCC) & Airline CRM Training
Jet Handling & Real-World Scenarios
Why Post-Type Rating is Important?
- Ensures pilots are fully prepared for airline job interviews & simulator checks
- Helps in clearing IndiGo, Air India, Akasa, SpiceJet, etc. airline simulator assessments
- Enhances handling of real-world flight operations before line training
Who Should Take These Classes?
CPL Holders preparing for A320/B737 Type Rating
Pilots aiming for airline job selections
Candidates who completed Type Rating but need refresher training
