Course Details
If you are contemplating an Airline career or are just a private pilot wanting to start on large aircraft training at your own pace, this training will enable you to complete most of the Transport Canada approved ground school for your type rating endorsement.  We have priced this training so it will be affordable to you and other pilot candidates like yourself. You may purchase a module at a time or a series of modules at once in which case, a quantity discount will reduce your total cost.  There is a time constraint of 30 days for each module. Upon completing the module within the time period, you will be given access to the other modules purchased. Once you have completed the Internet Training and passed the required examinations, you will be granted access to our training center in Vancouver Canada for completion of the ground school. Qualified airline instructors will also be on hand to tutor you 8 hours a day.

With your successful completion of your ground school course, you will be introduced to the free play trainer.  This device will sharpen your skills in all aspects of auto flight in normal and non-normal operations Upon successful completion of your procedures, you will move to the full motion simulator. This level D simulator will walk you through all the QRH items required for your examination.

For the Canadian type endorsement, your final ride is completed in a Level D simulator. A designated flight examiner from Transport Canada will monitor this final ride.Upon successful completion, you will receive a type endorsement on either a Canadian commerical license or a Canadian Airline Transport license. If you require your instrument rating renewed, another Transport Canada designate will sit in on your check ride with you and upon successful completion, you will receive an instrument rating renewal on your license.

Minimum Requirements

You must have a valid pilot's license and a multi-instrument rating and 250 hours total time  at the completion of the Airbus A320 course.

Unlike American licenses, Canadian licenses may be accepted in ICAO countries.  For students that hold French licenses or British licenses (CAA with British ATPL) and acquire 500 hours on type- you will be granted a JAA/JAR license with your type rating transferred on to it.  With this license, you may work anywhere in Europe. 

For the U.S. ATPL or Canadian ATPL course, you must have a minimum of 750 hours in order to write the exam. If you do not have the minimum required flight time to qualify to write the ATPLs', you may write the Canadian Instrument rating exam and the Commercial pilot's license exam along with the multi crew exam. If you are a low-time pilot, but have good academic and cognitive skills, you may not require additional training.

An alternative for foreign pilots is to gain a limited term pilot license (LTPL) from Transport Canada. You may receive a temporary license for training only and obtain your type rating and instrument rating on this license.

Depending on your own domestic regulations, you may transfer the endorsement and rating to your domestic license. If you cannot transfer your rating to your domestic license, you may wish to take the course and not write the commercial and instrument rating exams and flight test before doing the type rating.

You may complete the course, have your type rating and instrument rating on your temporary LTPL then take 90 days or longer to write the commercial, instrument and flight test exams.
Upon completion you can have your type rating transferred to a Canadian Commercial license.
