Airbus A320

We offer type rating courses for the Airbus A320. Additional modules such as Low Visibility Operations, PBN Landing Training or Zero Flight Time training are also available. We also have a combined MCC/A320 Type Rating for ab-initio students.

Courses are generally run in a standard two crew configuration, but can also consist of two Captains or two First Officers with adapted exercises.
