Type Rating - B737

[George Tower]

Boeing 737-200 Type rating

Could any one give me any idea as to where I can obtain the above type rating (self funded).

Many thanks

PS Please don't turn this into a debate about the merits or not paying for your own type rating as I know that argument chapter and verse.

AVTEC in Dublin run a 732 course using the Aer Lingus simulator. Contact Linda Logan on 00-353-1-8161750 for details. I know 2 guys who did this then got jobs with the larger Irish carrier. Good Luck

i seem to recall seeing that Safair in JNB do a 732 rating, not sure if you are on SA or JAA licence whether that makes a difference to where you do the rating i am not sure ......

Please tell me about the "so many airlines are advertising for B737 jobs" ?

I am rated on B737-NG and EFIS as well with 1300 hours on type.

eagerbeaver,

you are partly correct. Astraeus does not " do " type-ratings. However our subsidiary , Bond Aviation Solutions does type ratings on 737 and A320. We were approached by JAC acadamy some time ago to partner us on the type ratings. However, we declined involvement following our dicovery of " problems" with JAC Acadamy paying their bills.

Most of the people who do type ratings with BOND are gainfully employed in the industry, some with Astraeus. Some of the candidates also do some line training with us to consolidate their conversion course.

At this time neither BOND nor Astraeus have any connection whatsoever with JAC Acadamy.

737-300/800 type rating

Hi

Just a quick q?..... Hope anyone has a good answer.....

If you take a type rating for a 737-300.... What must be done to be able to fly the 737-800???

Anybody know where theese things can be looked up?

Thanks

[redsnail]

A differences course. Usually requires some technical lectures (should be too long) and a couple of sessions in a sim.
Most 737-300 to -800 diff courses can be knocked over in about a week.

[henriksch]

Thanks.....

Any idea of the costs for such a course?

Do not know the price off the top of my head but the link below should give you the contact info to get further details.

Should pay ~ £2,000 or so (being generous). Plus accomodation.

I completed the TRTO with Astraeus in Jan and then did the NG differences before going to Excel.

The Cost from Astraeus was £1500 as a bolt on, and we were given one bit of photocopied paper and a fixed base, followed by a full flight session. I guess this is a minimum requirement, but I did'nt feel it was enough, other than as a paperwork exercise.

At Excel, we then had two more fixed base and five full flight and five days ground school to do the job properly.

I gather Easy is about the same.

Question is: do you just want it on the licence or do you really want to be able to operate the airplane?

Draw your own conclusions.

737 Type Ratings

Can someone answer the following. Does a 737 type rating include all types ie 400/500/NG? Also are there any NG fixed base or FFS in the UK or Eire?

[IRRenewal]

My UK issued type rating says 737-300~900. If you train on the classic you need to do differences training to fly the NG and visa versa.

[screwdriver]

Thanks for the speedy reply. What form does the differences training take. Specifically-is any hardware involved?
