A320 Type Rating

At CATC we offer Airbus A320 family type training along with a wide range of additional qualifications.

A type rating is a prerequisite for flying a specific type of transport aircraft. CATC offers type training ending with a Skill test on a synthetic device for the A320 family, B737NG, B737CL, ATR and L410 aircraft types. After successful completion of the course, the pilot can enroll in Base Training or ZFTT zero flight time training. In addition to type training, CATC offers a wide range of additional courses that a professional pilot needs to obtain the necessary qualifications and experience such as MCC, JOC, ETOPS, AWO, LOFT or RNP RNAV. The course meets the requirements of EASA regulations.
