Hello, someone knows where the Global Express Type Rating can be done? It's for curiousity, I've had a discussion with a friend about that. No plan to self-fund a type rating!

CAE Dubai for sure if I remember correctly. Of course there are other places like Montréal and Dallas maybe.

Thank you very much Redbull! And is there any place in Europe?

Biggin Hill in the UK comes to my mind but I may well be wrong on this one as well as on Dallas and Montréal.

I meant Farnborough, not Biggin Hill - sorry! And no BD-700 TR course there...

You must give a look at CAE too of course.

CAE Burgess Hill. Factory training at Montreal is the best though.

Thank you Redbull and Purple Pilot. Someone knows how those ATO's can give you the touch and goes on this kind of airplane now that with new Easa rules you can't do them on your company's plane?
BTW, it will probably cost you about 35,000 Euro :{ Heavy biz jet type ratings are not cheap.

Nearer 60,000 euros actually.

Yes, I think it's more 60.000 than 35.000. I don't have any plan to do that type rating. We are trying to understand with some friends how people who will need to fly those kind of planes will manage to get their type ratings now that the ATO's must give you the touch and goes. I've had the problem with another plane and it has been solved, but many pilots will face it in the next weeks and months...
