Each Pilot gets one, we have different softwares we use for flight preparation, OPT (Onboard Performance Tool by Boeing), all the plates, Docunet which is a platform including all documents like FCOM, FCTM, AFM, Ops Manuals, FCIs, Enroute charts and many other… In fact, we have almost everything we need on the iPad which is a great thing, makes life a lot easier! We also start to train with the EFB (Electronic Flight Bag), this is simply an iPad. We have a one day introduction course about SOP’s (Standard Operational Procedures). As you can read, you are in front of a computer everyday and you start learning all the systems of the aircraft (Airplane General, Air Systems, Anti Ice and Rain, APU, Automatic Flight, Electrical, Engines, Fire Protection, Flight Controls, Flight Instruments, Flight Management and Navigation, Fuel, Hydraulics, Landing Gear, Warning Systems…)ĭuring that time, we also have classes with a ground instructor for a better understanding of the main systems. I was really happy about the facilities and professionalism of all the people and instructors I met there.ĬAE Amsterdam is actually located in Hoofdoorp which is about 8km to the west from Schiphol Airport.īasically, we start the first 2 weeks with the CBT’s (Computer Based Training). I don’t have any other point of view but in my opinion, the flight training there is “high standard”.
It lasted for 2 months and I believe it is quite long. This is a feedback of my Type Rating training on the Boeing 737-800NG.
