Hi!

I would strongly recommend you not to get involved with Eagle jet.
Once there will be a problem with your airline/carrier you fly for, they will not back you up in any way!!They just want your money and thats it,thats why I had to take legal action for my own because Eagle did not want to help me!so I would try another company for F/O programs if I was you

Good luck!

Hi Stefan,

I don't know if I got the right person. However, did you start a civil action against Eagle Jet international?
I'm asking you because I'm a commercial pilot who wanted to start a training with them, but then I got some news through a market information company telling me that Eagle Jet has been sued several times.
May I ask you which kind of problems did you have with Ealge Jet?
Thank you,
Ron

I have no personal experience of Eaglejet, so perhaps I should not comment but it might be worth searching through previous posts about them before giving them a lot of money.
Some people seem unhappy with the deal they recieve from them.

JAA/FAA Type Ratings
 

Ello Peeps

Was looking about going out to the USA to do a 737 or a Turbo Prop Type Rating at Pan AM.

Was told however, that it is NOT JAR approved, only FAA. The prices are great compared to the UK

Has any body got any info about converting it to a JAA Type Rating on my return to the UK?

PP

To get a JAA type rating in North America, you must complete an approved course at an approved TRTO. The TRTOs approved by the UK CAA ar listed on their website along with the types that they offer. Interestingly, Active Aerospace is not listed so I would be very careful about accepting Panama Jack's advice. You cannot simply do a FAA (or TC) course and get a JAA checkride at the end unless it is approved by a JAA country

If you get a FAA (or TC) type rating, you will need to build 500 hours flight experience on the type before it can be transferred to a JAA licence. You must then pass a Proficiency Check on the type with a JAA authorised TRE.

If you have some operating experience on the type, but less than 500 hours, you will have to complete a course of training at an approved TRTO (but the CAA may allow a reduction from the full course to take account of your experience) and pass the written exam and Skill Test.

It's all in LASORS Section F9

Info Type Rating
 

Hi everyone,

I am done with CPL / IR / MCC and 300 flight hours. Now the next step is the Type Rating.

What is the best Type Rating to get ?
What are the best schools to get it ?
What are the best prices ?

Are there some schools having links with companies so that it is possible to be presented to them easily ?

I hope I'll get lots of answers as it will probably help many of us.

THANKS :ok:

A little bit of searching will find your answer.

Don't pay for a type rating
Don't pay for a type rating
Don't pay for a type rating

Did I mention you shouldn't buy a type rating? You may find it not much help unless you have some line flying to add to the "bare bones" rating.

Why do people now seem to think Why is no-one trying to look after our interests? Why am I wasting my breath? :confused: :{

eagle jet first officer program...
 

eagle jet doesn't want to give any contact of pilots who did the FO program with them, they don't even give you the name of the airline companies in which you are supposed to do the line training... they want your 50000$ without giving any references.
Something stinks here...

Self Type Rating
 

Hello everyone,

How many possibilities would a pilot have with 1000 hrs including 300 turboprop to be hire by an airline that operates with ATR72 if he gets an ATR42/72 type rating including base check?

Many thanks

Type Ratings & The World's Local Bank
 

Hi,

Does anyone know what the deal is with picking up a US type rating? Can it be put on a JAA licence and if so how is it done?

Also word to the wise on the friendly people at the only bank who'll lend cash to trainee pilots - they're not as good as you'd like to believe. Unfortunately due to the lack of competition they enjoy customer service is not always top of their list of priorities. I'm incredibly grateful to them for providing the funds but it hasn't been the straight forward process we all hope it may be. Their list of stunts included:

1. Assuring me I could have my loan before telling me three weeks before course start date (by which point I'd paid a deposit and quit work) that they had changed their mind.

2. Screwing up the critical illness and death cover for the loan resulting in me being uncovered for two months - not so much a problem for me but family left behind wouldn't have seen the funny side of owing £20000.

3. Failing to make the payments to my FTO as and when they were requested to do so - resulting in Admin ladies dragging me into offices for explanations etc. Constantly calling the UK does make doing the ground school a bit more tricky.

To their credit though they are offering unsecured loans of £65000 or there abouts to those students deciding to do an intergrated course at what was formally BAE Systems available from the Chiswick branch for those interested.

Any gen on the type rting would be appreciated - can't find it in LASORS.

Cheers

For the rating to be put on your JAA licence you'll need to have been checked by someone with JAR approval. If you haven't had that, you'll need a minimum of 500 hours on type for the (eg) CAA to recognise it.

Hello,

If the money is short, why not try ( to bluild your hours and experience ) something else instead of jumping straight away onto a Type Rating? Which wont give you a job anyway and dont forget you have to keep the A320 rating current.

Flight Instruction would be a good investment.

thanks all for your answers
 

been doing a research on the web , and found jetwayaero, does anyone know enything about them, are they good, the price of the A320 type rate, it would be helpfull. sended them an Email but got no answer.

cheers

RMM

For A320 the place that I know is Aeromadrid (Spain). They do the base training with LTE and Iberworld. I think that is around 31.000 Euros.

mmontero,
I believe a certain Mr DAVID KACI is in with jetwayaero.Hes a big scam and I sued his ass off during 4 years.He lost a bunch of feathers but apparently went on with jetway.
just check if hes in there and if yes DONT go there.
Good luck
