Training
Schedule
Amazon Atlantic Airlines have
introduced a revised training and check ride schedule for new
recruits, with initial training based at Prestwick in Scotland
(EGPK). The aircraft used during initial training will depend
on the FS version and pilot preference, but will be one of the
Airbus A320, Boeing B737-400 or B737-800.
Pilots with
proven experience will be required to take the check rides for
new aircraft types only, T.R.s being granted on the basis of
past flights, assuming an acceptable minimum
standard.
Ab initio
New
pilots without a verifiable log book will be required to fly
the full set of training flights, in sequence, on ONE type
only, with a minimum standard of 90%. On completion of the
series the pilot will be required to complete a triangular
check ride in the same type, with a minimum required standard
of 95%. The pilot will be awarded a type rating (T.R.) on the
aircraft used during the training and check ride, plus any
variants of the base model. For example, a pilot who completes
the process in the A320 will be rated on the A318, 319, 320
and 321. Boeing T.R.s are similar, however apply to the
aircraft generation rather than the whole family (733/734/735
or 736/737/738)
To obtain additional T.R.s a pilot may
opt to complete the check rides for that type only, without
the need to fly the training flights. T.R.s not covered by
specific training will be granted upon request.
Heavy
Aircraft
New pilots are required to
complete 15 flights on the narrow body fleet before moving to
wide bodies. The training schedule for heavy aircraft is a
round trip flight passing through all four of our main hubs,
minimum 90%. The flight can be started from any of the hubs,
using any type in the fleet, subject to aircraft availability.
Once completed the pilot will fly a two leg check ride to a
minimum of 95% in the aircraft type chosen. Airbus check rides
are from Arlanda (ESSA) to Lima (SPIM) while Boeing/MDD checks
are from Johannesburg (FAJS) to Guarulhos (SBGR). As above,
additional T.R.s will be granted on completion of the relevant
check ride.
High Altitude Heavy
Aircraft
Although not compulsory, we recommend
that pilots planning to operate wide bodies in South America
fly the high altitude check ride series. There is no minimum
standard required, but our more experienced captains will be
happy to review your performance with you.
