A320 Type Rating

This course concerns pilots wishing to be qualified on Airbus A320.

Gear-Up ATO offers initial and additional A320 QT courses, as well as A330 to A320 transition courses (CCQ).

These courses take place in 3 phases:

  • A distance theoretical training (CBT) and face-to-face phase allowing you to acquire technical knowledge and become familiar with aircraft procedures.

  • A practical phase on the A320 simulator allowing you to practice normal and abnormal procedures of the aircraft.

  • A base training flight, where the trainee will perform 6 takeoffs and landings on the plane (if required - this service can be carried out by one of our partners).

Type rating revalidation and renewal

Gear-Up ATO offers revalidation sessions on Airbus A320, A330 and A350.

Renewal courses are only available on Airbus A320. The content of these courses depends on the expiry date of your rating as well as your recent experience.
