Why Choose A320 Type Rating?
Type Rating certification is essential for a pilot if they want a career as an airline pilot. Investing in the A320 Type Rating proves advantageous for the following reasons.
Leader in the Market
As of May 2026 Airbus report, the A320 family has now surpassed 20,000 cumulative orders, doubleing down further on the A320 family's position as the world's best-selling commercial aircraft family.
Fly-By-Wire Aircraft
The A320 Family’s cockpit shares commonalities with the other Airbus aircraft. A single Type Rating enables pilots to fly A319, A320, and A321. They can also easily step up to Airbus’ widebody fly-by-wire aircraft with Cross Crew Qualification, opening opportunities for versatility in their flying assignments and giving airlines greater flexibility in deploying the flight crews.
