type rating info A320

[angmavrick]

HIii freinds can anyone suggest some good type rating institutes ...where i can get early slots and also can some one plzz tell me how is the panam flight academy....plzz pm me or answer me

[rahulred5]

I recommend Higherpower aviation in Texas... Reasonable price and very good Level D sim for the A320. They are the primary training provider for Southwest airlines and they have a good reputation in the USA.

There were rumours that they were blacklisted by DGCA but that is false.

[koolchaos3188]

but the institute has a bad reputation here...
My suggestion is CAE

[rahulred5]

^ bad reputation from who ? Because they got "blacklisted" once ? (rumour has it that they didnt pay DGCA the $$$ like CAE has) :}

You do know that spicejet and kingfisher sent their pilots there and I haven't heard anything negative from them. And I am pretty sure that southwest airlines is not going to send their pilots to a TRTO if it is anything but good quality.

Virgin America uses them for their A-320 checks too and I've been told its the exact same Airbus syllabus as CAE for 10,000$ cheaper.

okayy but what about panam academys reputation i mean are they good .......

[rahulred5]

The only thing I can say about PanAm is you get what you paid for :E

And I heard from someone in Indigo that they dont accept anyone with the TR from Panam. Maybe someone from Indigo can back this up.

[koolchaos3188]

@rahul - i can say for IndiGo, as Im flying for them. and IndiGo does give preference to guys who have done it from CAE...

and you know dude that institute make the Co-Pilot fly on the left seat for the type rating, thats the reason lot of guys didn't make it through their sim-check with Jet Airways...

I would suggest Oxford Aviation Academy, Sweden. At par with CAE in each n every way possible.

Here is the web address to it : Oxford Aviation Academy - Leading provider of airline pilot training, cabin crew training, aircraft maintenance training & aviation resourcing services. (http://www.oaa.com)

For any further info, feel free to contact.

If the type rating is a command rating and not a copilot rating, then the flying should be done from the command seat.

@livetokill: If I am not wrong Alpha Aviation is the same place that Jet sends it's guys for the 737 TR

[livetokill22]

I didn't know that.
It's gotta be good if jet sends their crew there.

Thinking about a type. Looking for a good training centre.

Thanks!

[koolchaos3188]

@37575 - Im talking about guys doing their Co-Pilot rating.

[naughtyjay]

Kindly stop banging your head over here, let them realize when they reach the interviews...

there are too many undercover agents here from flying schools and TRTO

[koolchaos3188]

@naughty - yeah dude...

Guys what about Alliance Aviation Inc(Previously known as SIM CENTER)...are they good or is it just another private TRTO with no quality?!?:oh:

[cats200]

Is there any one who has completed A320 TR from CAE Kuala Lumpur??

Good quality but very expensive. slot availability very difficult.

[cats200]

What do you think about Sim Centre (Now Alliance Aviation INC)...how is that TRTO?

[Prop.Time]

New management. New Avatar for this TRTO.
But course is too long and unnecessary with the Jet Bridge et al.

[cats200]

Ya i know the course is a bit longer than other TRTO's but what about the quality?? any body here who can shed some light on their quality of teaching?!?

[flyguy70lk]

Try South Asian Aviation Services, a TRTO out of Singapore, new on the block, but they do a lot of work for Tiger Airways. saasfly.com
