Full Type
Rating.
The standard transition qualification for CPL holders stepping into commercial airline cockpits. Covers complete aircraft systems ground school, fixed-base procedural training, Level D Full Flight Simulator sessions, and DGCA skill tests.
Eligibility & Prerequisites.
Designed for commercial pilots preparing to operate as First Officers on multi-crew transport aircraft. Whether you are a fresh CPL graduate self-sponsoring your type rating or an airline-sponsored cadet, our modular curriculum takes you through complete ground and simulator certification.
Important Pathway Advisory
Ensure your multi-engine and instrument rating endorsements remain valid throughout the full simulator and skill test schedule. If endorsements are nearing expiry, our flight operations desk can arrange renewal sessions prior to course induction.
How Long Does
It Take?
A focused, structured training window.
From ground school to the final DGCA skill test, every stage is designed to build the knowledge, procedures and proficiency required for aircraft type qualification.
Training Structure.
Three sequential stages — from classroom knowledge to simulator proficiency to regulatory check. Each stage builds on the previous one.
Ground School
Aircraft systems, technical knowledge, performance, mass & balance, procedures and operations — delivered through structured classroom and digital learning.
Full-Flight Simulator
Practical training in a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) where pilots practise normal operations, procedures, abnormal situations and operational scenarios.
DGCA Skill Test
The final check conducted in the applicable FFS pathway by an examiner independent of the training instructor, in accordance with DGCA requirements.
