A330 Upgrade rating
Hi all
Wondering if anyone could help.
I need to upgrade my co pilot a330 rating to a command a330 rating. I hold 2250hrs as copilot on a330 already and 700hrs as captain on a320/1.
I am not interested in a full type rating or CCQ course. I just need to do the quickest (and cheapest) COMMAND upgrade for a330 that would be recognized by CASA in Australia.
I have been quoted ridiculous prices from 40 000 pound to $15 000USD. AGAIN this is not an initial type rating or CCQ. The upgrade should normally include ground school and 3 sims (max) + 1 check.
Any help would be appreciated

Command upgrade... Give a look at Cockpit4U. I spotted something related on command on their website yesterday.
CASA? Do you have the right to live and work in Down Under?

I have heard of a good school that used to be based in Essendon, flymarshall.com When I was there they were instructing on C150s, but I hear they have come a long way since then.....
