TR Course AW139-Where?
 

As i am currently looking into the different facilities that offer type rating courses on the AW139:

Which facilities do you know?
(If you have any idea: How long does the course take? How much did it cost?)..

I only know about the factory course (?) in Italy, and heard of one in the US..

Are there any helicopter operators offering TR courses?

(The reason i am asking: We need to train 2 pilots...but the factory course seems to be fully booked until next year)...

While waiting for replies you can try these people.

Thanks....already got in contact with them-they are waiting for the delivery of their new simulator.....their training facility will not be open before 2014...

FSI Lafayette would be the one in the US?

Try Karen in Switzerland. They do AW139 type ratings.

Thanks...

Got a surprisingly quick answer from Lafayette...will also try Switzerland..


Thanks, guys!
:ok:

Try in AIRGREEN Italy good luck

Hueyracer, what licence do you hold? That may be a difference on where and which facility is actually authorized to provide a type rating course.

Try Gulf Helicopters in Doha - see the attached link.

Thanks, guys..

The whole thing was due to a company interested in hiring me for a specific job, but they have been unable to use their "normal" simulator for the type rating in time.....so i have offered them to have a look at additional training facilities as well, to see if i could find an open slot...

Unfortunately, i could not....so they had to hire someone else (less experience, but with current type rating)...

No big deal....
Thx!

Hi!where is possible to attend an aw139 type rating course?

The obvious answer is at Agusta Westland!

Is this the only training center?

AW Sesto Calende (CAE) $70K
AW NETC (USA) $ 70 K
FSI LFT (USA) $50K
Era helicopters, 40K ish

CAE sim in KL

Hi everyone!
Could someone tell the exact value of TR139 price? or where I can get info?

To be more specified: I did TR in Sesto Calende last year, (VFR only :ugh:).
So it was Ground school+7 sessions in sim+ 4h on real AC (3h+1h check).
Thank you in advance!

So you went to SC, enrolled on a course was given all the fees and details that the training school provide, did the course, sim & flew (VFR :ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:) but in all that time couldn't sort out whilst there what the full course would cost????

You'll be turning up at one of the big players, cap in hand looking for a job next?? Hope you can reverse the more money than common sense problem you have thrown at our feet.

not exactly :rolleyes:
the course was free for our company, because it purchased some 139s.
So even in my own company they dont know the price exactly).
But... according to the contract if someone wants to leave before the agreement expires he has to pay the TR price....(:mad:
P.S. I tried asking in SC, but couldn't get full course cost...

OK, sorry I take it all back.....you work for a two bit muppet company and I fully understand your need to leave now. Good luck, you have demonstrate some common sense in looking to better yourself. It is a shame some small players (companies) are so tight that they can't fully train their employees, pay them enough to retain the staff loyalty:D

Hit and sunk...LOL...:ok:

Loyalty... you know it's not all about payment, but also a relationship of managment to employees. So if payment,stuff training,relationship are at low level then the 'loyalty' to the company should be at the same low level, or shouldn't?) :mad:
