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. |
you can try at the sabena flight academy brussels
the adress is www.sfa.be |
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 ......
|
Thanks fellas - I will investigate the contacts provided and see what they can offer.
Many thanks GT |
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. H |

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 |
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. |
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.
Moku.alteon |
Should pay ~ £2,000 or so (being generous). Plus accomodation. :D
|
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?
|
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.
|
Thanks for the speedy reply. What form does the differences training take. Specifically-is any hardware involved?

flying B737-500 with a B737NG rating?
Seems like a stupid question but here goes.
I know that the 737NG family is the -600 -700 -800 and -900. However I find that some pilots fly the 737-500 with a NG rating - how is that possible? Best regards POL |
A differences course should see to it.
Same applies the other way round (-300,-400,-500 drivers also flying the NG). Just depends which you flew first I guess. |
Yeah that is what I thought. But I have heard something about the layout of the -500 efis flightdeck could have a be of a special setup in a way that made it possible to fly on a NG rating (or was it the other way around).
Maybe someone misinformed me... |
Airlines can customise their 737NG displays to make them look like the older versions (a la Southwest Airlines)
Like This While the standard setup is the new 777-style PFD/ND layout: Like This It is not a requirement however for the screens to look like the old type to allow a differences course, as easyJet have the new-style displays on their NGs which are flown by pilots who also fly the 733s. My guess is that it's just customer preference. |

skyteam-
Heard that there have been some major bumps in the road for the self sponsered type rating pilots. Those guys completed the type training and then were unable to do any flying at all due to the government. I don't know the exact problem but maybe another ppruner may be able to shed some light. All is still in limbo from what I hear and they are going on 4 to 6 months without flying the real bird at all!! My heart goes out to them-spend all that money and then get NOTHING that was promised. I think it is total :mad: I have some friends in that group. I hope it works out for them. My guess is that you might be already type rated with experience and AA is bringing you in to fill the void caused by this governmental snafoo. Be careful and don't end up like my buddies :ugh: :ouch: with no money. Great Circle |
Anyone care to explain why the government might ban expat pilots from line experience?
|
Air Asia were getting away with using temporary working visas and the government has stopped them doing that. It will take at least until the middle of December to issue full and valid passes apparently. This is the reason why the airine has not brought out any more ex-pats.
|
Well Astraeus have literally just delivered one B737-300 for Air Asia ( with a second B737-300 imminently about to depart ) to Kuala Lumpur - all on a 'damp lease' ( i.e. Astraeus supply aircraft and UK pilots ) - and of which you might be interested to read some of the paragraphs of a Flight Crew Memo issued to those crews this very day:
Until the issue of a work permit, it is necessary to collect a security pass each day. To acquire a pass all pilots require a letter from Air Asia to confirm the need for the pass and reason for its issue. Crew can obtain the letter from the Air Asia corporate offices on the fourth floor of the main terminal building. Report to the security office, the Security Manager is Major Victor Joe Joseph. Your letter will be valid for 7 days and will need to be renewed whilst waiting of a permanent pass. Before reporting for duty, go to the security desk on level 5 of the main terminal building. Present the security officer with your letter, a photo ID (driving licence is best) and pay a fee of 1RM (about 15 pence). They will issue you with a pass and a wrist band. You must wear both and have them visible at all times. Security will keep your photo ID until the pass is returned. Having collected a day pass crew then need to proceed through International Departures or Domestic Arrivals, depending whether the flight departure is domestic or international. Obtaining a work permit will take about one month. When a work permit is issued, Air Asia will provide a photo ID and there will then be no requirement to report to the security desk each day. The permanent pass will also allow swipe access through the security doors. When you have that privilege, do not forget to ensure the security door is closed behind you. If it is not closed the airport security can trace the owner of the card that swiped the door open and withdraw the pass. Ps. I'd be in KL myself, but instead have the delights of the B757 and West Africa routes to look forward too. ;) |
but
Do you know when there are the seleccions of parc?
I've just sent the application...... |
B737 ratings
Thought I`d put some cheap TRTOs out there. I don`t work for any of them and haven`t done a 737 rating with any of them. Surely, this post will soon get abused, but feel free to add any more TRTOs.
TR 737-800 for EUR12500 (approx. GBP 8000) plus base check here. get a quote with these chaps. Don`t know their price, but many go through them. Czech Airlines used to be USD17000 including base check, though this was 2 years ago remember to ask how much the VAT is. - Czech Republic has 5%, Denmark none, Germany 16%, I believe. Czech Republic is cheapest to live (50p for a Pilsener). regards, IP |
Hi I m one of those Air Asia lot and most of them hope to start work in the next few days. Getting a pass isn t that hard. Genuine mistake on Air Asia s side.
|
Puritan/ Little Miss:
I guess the pilots supplied are a mix of newbies just trained and old hands from Astraeus? |
Does anybody know when Parc aviation assessment are?
Cos i've sent them the application form but nobody answered me... |
The mole - in a word, the answer to your question is "Yes".

Cheapest B737 typerating.
Does anyone know any cheap typerating providers. Lufthansa is offering typerating for 16500 euro, do you think I can do it cheaper somewhere else.
Tried to search in spain but no luck. |
Hello,
Im lead to believe a few months back Ansett ( flight training devision, cant remember their name now ) in Australia was offering B737 rating for £8000 :confused: quite cheap... Obviously there would be extra costs like trip, accomodation and conversion i believe. I might be missing some facts here but this was around awhile back. Regards |
|
Shouldn't the question be: who has the best value for money???:hmm:
