Hello mate,

Long time since we last spoke! Hope things are going well.

Not sure if they do a 727 rating, but I did have a spin in a 727 sim with Bond down at Gatwick so give them a call.

Good luck!

I am planning to do a 727 rating.Any suggestions where i could do it at a good price?(I have both JAA and FAA license,i would prefer to put it on the JAA license if it wont cost me a lot more.)

Pan-am in the USA do it. I don't think they have JAA approval on it though, only FAA.

The B727 is not the kind of aeroplane most Wannabes would consider. Are you sure you're in the right forum?

By calling you brave I am not reffering to the safety of the 727, I am refering to the job prospects for 72 compared to 73, A-320 family or even the humble ATR.

For once Scroggs and myself are in agreement, I assume that you are a current ATPL looking for something different and not young upstart looking for your first gig!

I have not updated my profile probably because i havent used pprune for long time.My total time is around 1200,aprox 100 hours on light turboprop and have not touched any jet,so i believe i am still a wannabe.

Fair enough! In which case, a strange choice of TR. But the choice, of course, is yours.

European Aviation in Bournemouth have a fully operational 727 sim, but I am not sure if they have UK TRTO approval. Cheapest route for you will no doubt be somewhere in Florida.

I see you also asked on the African forum about 727 ops... try Interair in Johannesburg, they operate a couple, also Transafrik in Angola if you want something more, shall we say, adventurous :O

I've flown with a few ex-727 drivers, they all agree its an awesome aerie!

Good luck

According to the CAA, there are no 727 capable TRTOs in the UK.
