Initial Type Rating, Pilot in Command

The initial type rating adds either a CE-500 or CE-525 type rating to a pilot’s existing certificate allowing the holder to act as pilot in command of those aircraft. Our 4 to 5 day course consists of a comprehensive ground school, flight training and check ride. Tasks to be demonstrated are defined in the ATP and Type Rating Practical Test Standards for multiengine airplanes. Your Airline Transport Pilot certificate and in some cases your multiengine rating can be accomplished simultaneously if desired. Your pilot certificate will be reissued with the CE-500 or CE-525 Type Rating.

Recurrent training, Pilot in Command

The recurrent Pilot in Command training course satisfies the annual recurrent training requirement dictated by 61.58(a). This course consists of a 2 day systems review and a PPE (pilot proficiency exam) flight check in the aircraft. Tasks to be demonstrated are the same as in the initial type rating course.
