Boeing 737

Overview

Irish Flight Training (IFT) delivers Boeing B737 Type Rating courses and variant differences training in accordance with EASA Part-FCL regulations and is approved under the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).

The EASA-FCL Boeing B737-3/900NG Type Rating program is an intensive five (5) week classroom and simulator course consisting of a 10-day ground school syllabus, followed by a 32-hour simulator training program and includes all technical and operational training elements including aircraft performance and weight and balance. During the training, and with the support of our experienced 'on-type' trainers, we impart knowledge of systems by means of CBT and the MFTD and you will gain practical experience in the Full Flight Simulator (FFS). After successfully completing the exams, Licence Skill Test (LST) and the base training, the licence registration can then be carried out by your licencing regulatory authority.

The B737 Type Rating course is aimed at pilots who wish to become type rated on the Boeing B737, which can include with differences course the -300 to -900 series classic, NG and MAX variants.

With the Boeing B737 Type Rating, IFT offers experienced pilots as well as beginners the qualification to fly one of the most successful Boeing models.

The type rating ground course employs blended delivery techniques to ensure that periods of CBT are broken up at regular intervals by instructor input, preventing sustained periods of learning without instructor guidance. An experienced theoretical knowledge instructor is always available to answer pilot trainee questions and provide support.

Course performance is monitored by examinations to ensure training goals are achieved and during subsequent training phases the pilot trainee will receive the required on-going support to achieve the desired success during this demanding training course.

The simulator phase is delivered in state-of-the-art level 'D' Full 'motion' Flight Simulators (FFS).

Depending on your requirements the course can provide the option to include zero flight time training (ZFTT) or base training.
