I am presently flying in an outfit that has employed guys who have obtained320 endorsements from some school in Florida. They have no idea about the aircraft systems, or how it flys, and are an accident waiting to happen. The fact is that you get what you pay for and courses at $9000 don't give you much. I am now working my notice to get out of here before the first smoking hole happens.

Aviatorvette, really? What do you get for your money? A standard European TR?

Thats CAE madrid for you, I wouldnt say standard european TR. Its according to Indian standards, I think the requirements for India are higher, 58 hours of FFS if im not mistaken.

ah, okay. Yes, it has MCC and JOC (20 hours sim) plus the FBS and FFS for a TR under DGCA rules (64 hours). Does that include taxes?

hey guys,

i am holding a canadian CPL and looking to do my a320 type rating in the states.

I have some concerns regarding licensing.

Do i have to convert my Canadian to FAA for my training, then convert back to Canadian after type rating training?

Or i can just apply to TC with my training recording from the states?

If i need conversion, should i do a checkride with a TC certified examiner in canada before i can obtain a sticker on my license?

thanks all for reply, thank you ,thank you

john

I am on the same boat!
Other than the Type Rating from USA, you also need to write your IARTA before you can get TC sign-off!
Have you decided where to get your type rating? Are you looking for A320 or B737?

Pan Am / NorthWest

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

There is nothing wrong with Pan Am nor the NorthWest syllabus, also pan am integrate their experience from years of experience grown up though Pan Am and have links to airlines and others and give realistic updates of pilot hiring, plus they are in touch with the airlines they work with for their crews (they don`t just do individual pilots) they are one of the oldest, if not, the oldest in the business.

~Money well spent, if you go there. Whats all this "be careful" s***. Of course everyone has to be careful, all the time, everywhere -- but there is nothing wrong with Pan Am or their training or their experience or their professionalism - ask the airlines whose crews they train.

About a month ago, All Nippon announced they will acquire Pan Am Holdings, including Pan Am International Flight Academy so there may well be some changes?
