Does anyone know how much the actual base training cost (6 take offs and landings)? Say for an A320 or B737NG, assuming you do a type rating course yourself.
*** Please No comments on buying type ratings!!! I'm not looking for that debate!! ***
thanks

As far as I can remember, for a well known loco operator:
6 circuits base training was included in the type rating. Contractually, if you failed to complete base training in 6 ccts, you could be required to pay E800 for each additional circuit. In practice those who needed a few extra would be given them at no cost. There was a chap who simply could not land the aircraft despite significant additional training in the sim and lots of ccts in the aircraft. He was chopped.

Base training A320 6 ccts about 4 years ago was about 5000:
<<Total cost for Training including Hotac and flights: 4090 GBP plus VAT @ 17.5% = 4805.75>>
