jaa license, t/r and 300-500h on the aircraft.
experience general 1000-5000h tt with jet experience.

some have been hired with less, but they come from very expensive schools (Integrated training?)and if not hired, they are stuck with 200h ours and empty pocket.

Type rating

I have exactly the same question than you. As far as I know this is better to have a type rating, I would say that with it you are almost sure to get a job or you have certainely more chances but it does not mean that without it you cannot get a job.

Type Rating is for one specific 'type' only e.g. 737
Class Rating allows you to fly any aircraft in that Class e.g. SEP Land/Sea MEP Land/Sea

CRJ Type Rating + Providers

Hi to you all,
I´d like some help! As the title says, I´m looking for TRTO:s that offer type ratings (JAA) on the CRJ200/700/900. Also, any tips and comments from someone who´s done the course would be highly appreciated.
Thanx in advance!

Jet type ratings; cost, and TRTOs?

hi all,

What is a good average price for a 737 TR in Europe? Sabena just quoted me 23.000€ VAT included, which seems quite expensive to me..
what do you guys think?

You could try Atlas Jet in Turkey - I am told they should have a TRTO for their own CRJs up and running now for their own pilots.

Does that include base check? Seems like a good price to me if it does.

Try Bombardier in Montreal! They can do the rating for JAA or FAA!

Good Luck

Thank you all for the replies.

Any tips/comments from someone who has done a TR at one of these places? Quality of the instructors, study material etc etc.

Anyone?

Hi,

I did a TR in Montreal with Bombardier3 month ago (it was not for the CRJ) - but you get excellent books and CD´s - you can call the instructors any time.
I heard that they do the CRJ as a CBT course. But everybody seems to be happy.

By the way - In Berlin are also Sims for the CRJ. They are owned by Lufthansa Flight Training. Maybe ask there or Flugschule Berlin.

Good luck

No one pays for a 500 hr jet time. You slowly progress in the aviation field, start off flying twins props, move onto a bigger twin. When accumulated about 2000TT and about 500 Twin hours, a regional carrier if lucky a nation carrier would hire you for a turbine craft, on which they will pay the training for you.

May be in Canada but not in Europe anymore. That's was the normal path a couple of years ago. Nowon in Europe nobody would give your first chance on a turbo prop if you don't have t/r of that aircraft and better if hours on type too or many hours of multi-engine. Even then you are not sure to have the job.

For learjet have a look in USA web-site I think overthere you should find some opportunites.

Cheers

When you say turbine, can i fly one of those on just a multi engine or would i have to get a type rating for a turbine.? I'm really clueless on that bit
