COURSE OVERVIEW
The Airbus A320 family of aircraft is considered one of the industry’s most advanced and widely used aircraft and the leader of the narrow-body market. In addition, fly-by-wire (FBW), which is the first system to be accepted in terms of aviation systems, is a system that airbus introduced, developed, and continues to use for the first time, replacing the traditional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. In addition, at the end of the course, pilots will have detailed information about the Airbus system philosophy.
A320 Type Rating training comprises both theoretical and practical courses. Theoretical training is followed by practical training on synthetic training devices. The HRS Aviation Training Center offers a large pool of knowledgeable and experienced active airline instructors and the use of state-of-theart simulators for a competency-based training experience.
Ever since Airbus launched its A320 Family, the company’s single-aisle jetliners product line has set the standards as the world’s most comfortable short-to-medium-haul aircraft – which is one of the many reasons why they also are the most successful commercial aircraft of all time.
The EASA approved Type Rating training programme is performed according to the highest standards of aviation training, using a practical and operationally integrated learning approach with all training carried out using computer-based training tools, Full Flight Simulators (FFS) located on Sofia/Bulgaria and Istanbul/Turkiye. (depends on customer discretion and availability)
With our extensive experiences in aviation and aviation training, we provide you with high-quality preparation for a successful future career on one of the most popular types of aircraft.
