I recommend Higherpower aviation in Texas... Reasonable price and very good Level D sim for the A320. They are the primary training provider for Southwest airlines and they have a good reputation in the USA.

There were rumours that they were blacklisted by DGCA but that is false.

^ bad reputation from who ? Because they got "blacklisted" once ? (rumour has it that they didnt pay DGCA the $$$ like CAE has)

You do know that spicejet and kingfisher sent their pilots there and I haven't heard anything negative from them. And I am pretty sure that southwest airlines is not going to send their pilots to a TRTO if it is anything but good quality.

Virgin America uses them for their A-320 checks too and I've been told its the exact same Airbus syllabus as CAE for 10,000$ cheaper.

The only thing I can say about PanAm is you get what you paid for

And I heard from someone in Indigo that they dont accept anyone with the TR from Panam. Maybe someone from Indigo can back this up.

OAA

I would suggest Oxford Aviation Academy, Sweden. At par with CAE in each n every way possible.

Here is the web address to it : Oxford Aviation Academy - Leading provider of airline pilot training, cabin crew training, aircraft maintenance training & aviation resourcing services.

For any further info, feel free to contact.

If the type rating is a command rating and not a copilot rating, then the flying should be done from the command seat.

I didn't know that.
It's gotta be good if jet sends their crew there.

Thinking about a type. Looking for a good training centre.

Thanks!
