Type rating - Embraer 120/145/170/190?

[alberto86]

hello,

it is just my own curiousity,

does any of you guys know where to find a simulator for an Embraer 145 type rating? Are there any in Europe or elsewhere? What about prices? Thanks in advance

Orlando FL (Flight safety) and Phoenix AZ

... and in Europe: FlightSafety at Paris Le Bourget, and Icare (Morlaix) in France.

... and for those who can afford it: about 45 000 euros for a self-sponsored ERJ135/145 type rating (JAA approved)

Alteon in Manchester, England have an EMB 145 simulator

why the h*ll is it so expensive? Does it include any line training...hours package or what?

[BIGBAD]

If you're gonna spend your own money on a type rating don't bother with an EMB 145..............

[wingedwilliam]

No, the 45,000 € does not include any line training at all... just the type rating! However, if you are considering buying an ERJ type rating, I suggest you request a quote from the various TRTOs mentioned in this thread. For some reason, TR prices seem to vary a lot...

Forget the 145 for Self Type Rating....waste of money really considering the salaries you would achieve on securing a position on a 145 operator.

If you really must self type rate I think a better investment would be 18000 euro for a 73 or 320 rating.

Embraer Type

Hope you're all fine and doing well.

I just had a quick question regarding the Embraer 145 Type Rating here in JAA land. Other than what I've found in another pprune thread are there really only 2 sims available (Manchester and Paris), where would one go to gain such a type rating. Obviously there are a couple of choices over in the US but then I'd no doubt need some time to go with that in order to successfully oconvert it to the JAA equivalent.

Ah, the delightful complexities of aviation

Try Cirrus Flight Training in Germany - they offer Ratings for 135/145.

Ah, Thank you but I didn't see anything on their website relating to the Embraer Type Ratings.

[Blighty Pilot]

Why would you want one???

[boogie-nicey]

Well I am thinking more along the lines of the regional operators (Turboprops, Exec and regional jets). If I head for the well worn 737 path then I might find myself in no man's land where I fall short of the 737 carriers and excluded from the smaller operators. The Embraer would give me a shot at the regional end of the spectrum coupled with some time on line of course.

I am contemplating getting to the 1000hr mark with Embraer TYpe Rating and about 400-450 hrs on type too (to be arranged separately). This should hopefully get me noticed for some of the smaller operators. Maybe at least give me a shot at single pilot IFR ops here in JAA land.

Thanks for the helpful comments so far.

[Blighty Pilot]

Just don't understand why you would want to take a bigger risk than you have to - at the end of the day we're not talking about just a couple of quid for a type rating.

Also - the more multi pilot time you have under your belt and less GA time the better. If you get with the regional operators - flybe, bmi regional and alike they will pay for your rating (at the end of the day the rating is of very little use as there are minimal ERJ operators).

If self funding a type rating get a 737 or an A321 rating it will be more valuable in the long run and there are pleanty of opertunities out there at the moment.

All the best,

BP

Thanks BlightyPilot, I will indeed give your comments some serious thought. After all I am still planning and researching and such comments, opinion and input is very welcome.

Take care and safe flying

bmi

bmi regional charge F/Os £12000 for the EMB rating. Have a look at PPJN.

Slightly better perhaps than the Easy 737 or Bus rating scheme under TRSS.

Flybe are thinking of upping the bonding arrangements for the 195 when it comes online.......

[flugfisch]

Hey boogie,

lock under news - they started in 10/2005 with 135/145 Ratings - but maybe call also Cirrus Airline - they operate 2 of them - maybe you can make a deal - if you anyway wants to make the rating - or also Cirrus Aviation - they operate a Legacy - Good luck

[FE Hoppy]

Swiss-aviation-training.com for type rating.

[boogie-nicey]

FE Hoppy: Thanks for the suggestion, I had a look at their website but it only had a generalised and brief account of their services. You;d think that they'd be more information than cosmeti appeal to some websites

BTW are any of you posters current or recent Embraer aircrew.

Oh well, back to the grindstone, have a nice day.

[boogie-nicey]

Thanks HUGS, I was just researching and dipping my toe in the water regards to Embraer but seem to be more inclined to Airbus 320 rating. The Cross Crew Integration also helps too (according to our dear leader Scroggs) so I feel that though it's one of the more expensive type ratings it is best value for money with the a319, a320, a321 equivalents and then the CCQ onto 330 sometime in the future.

BTW I was thinking of using another alias instead of Boogie-Nicey which would have been similar to yours .... HUGGY BEAR

I wish to research as many possibilities as I can so that I have an informed opinion with regards to my future prosepcts. Combined with some time building and even line training (somewhere) I hope to 'activate' my Type Rating rather than similiar acquire it as an academic qualification.

Take care .....
