Boeing and Airbus
Hi
I'm new in this forum and i hope that i'll find an answer to my question . Many of the Pilot training programs provide A320 simulator training . Does that mean that the future pilot will fly only on Airbus ? Or does he need another training on Boeing to be able to fly its aircrafts ? And how can pilots go from the A320 to another largest airliner like the A380 ?
Thanks a lot

Try to search for TR (Type Rating). You will find a lot of info. If you fly A320 you cannot go to B737 or A380 unless you complete TR. Basically it takes a month to transfer with about 30h simulator hours plus 4 or 6 real landings. So it's expensive...

And Airbus are working on a common type rating for A330 and A350, so that if you have an A330 endorsement, you don't need and full flight simulator sessions to fly the A350.

Actually, the A330 and A350 are a common type rating, you still need a difference training that takes about a week and some simulator flying.
Common typerating is something that boeing did for years, first with the 757/767 and more recently with the 777/787. Still doesn't mean you won't have to train before you fly the second flight.
And of course depending on experience one doesn't need to do real landings anymore, the first real landing after changing types is usually a normal revenue flight with passengers in the back.

Yes, my sentence should have said Airbus are working on getting approval for a common type rating....
At least that's what Airbusworld had on it last week.
