Credits For Previous Experience

Reduced type rating training based on commonality is limited to initial type rating training for BE90/200 Series equipped aircraft with ProLine 21, and to pilots meeting the following prerequisites:

  • Current and qualified on BE300/1900 series aircraft equipped with ProLine 21 avionics; and

  • A minimum of 150 hours as PIC and/or Co-Pilot and three months flying experience in a BE300/1900 series aircraft with Proline 21; and

Take-off and Landing training course only — when the pilot has more than 500 hours experience in aeroplanes of similar size and performance, they are required to complete only four landings (including one full stop) rather than six. To decide whether only four landings are required, the HT will assess each pilot’s total flying hours, experience on jet aircraft and MTOM of types flown.

Timescale

Training time varies with the type of course. We are flexible and aim to schedule the course around your availability.

Courses take approximately 7 days.
