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

The A320 Family order book at the end of February 2024 stood at 18,460 aircraft, making it the world’s best-selling commercial aircraft. In 2023, customers worldwide ordered more than 1,800 aircraft

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.
