A typerating is a course where you learn how to operate a specific type of aircraft.
After the pilot training at OSM Aviation Academy, you will have an education that provides you with the possibility to apply for pilot jobs at different European airlines. When you are offered a position and know which type of aircraft you will be operating, you will need another additional course for that specific type of aircraft. That course is called a typerating.
The airline that hires will be the airline that provides the typerating course, where they also teach the airline’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
A typerating includes both theory and practical flight training with the airplane type and takes about 6 months (might vary a bit depending on airplane type and airline).
In other words, you will be qualified to do a typerating for any airplane type after completing our Airline Ready® Program.
Which airplane type you will do your typerating on depends on the employee and which airplane type they operate/need pilots for.
