Arrive at Type Rating School Prepared.
Your type rating costs $31,000+ and moves fast. Build professional-grade IFR skills, flows, and automation discipline on our King Air 200 G1000 NXi—the same avionics foundation used in modern jets. 6-12 hours of focused prep depending on your proficiency.
Your Type Rating Center Has No Time to Reteach IFR Fundamentals.
You're paying for a certified full-flight simulator and an expert on your aircraft. Their job is to teach you the systems and required procedures for the type rating—not to cover instrument basics. They expect you to arrive with professional-level skills already in place.
Train With Type-Rated Pilots
You'll fly with instructors who hold multiple type ratings and command jets professionally. They understand single-pilot jet operations and what type rating evaluators expect from day one.
Build IFR Skills Before Your $31K Program
You'll train on our King Air 200 G1000 NXi AATD with worldwide database—SID/STAR procedures, VNAV descents, holds, and approach discipline. Build the skills type rating centers assume you already have.
Transform GA Habits Into Jet Discipline
You'll replace casual GA approaches with the structured flows, callouts, and decision-making jet operations demand. Arrive at type rating school performing—not learning the basics.
What GA Flying Doesn't Demand—Jets Will
In GA, gear, flaps, and speeds are flexible. In jets, every step is timed and standardized. That discipline isn't optional—it's the standard.
Single-Pilot Jets Demand Complete Mastery
Flying alone in a high-performance jet leaves no room for gaps. Automation mistakes compound fast, energy management slips, and suddenly you're behind the airplane with no one to catch it.
Professional Standards Aren't Optional
Type rating evaluators expect precise flows, callouts, and profiles from day one. Show up unprepared, and they'll question your discipline—and your ability to command the aircraft.
Your Passengers Deserve Professional Operations
Family, clients, or colleagues trust you with their lives. Weak decision-making, sloppy planning, or unclear briefings aren't just unprofessional—they're unsafe.
Your IFR Gaps Are Unique. Your Training Should Be, Too.
Off-the-shelf training plans don't work when you're already in the game. You don't need to relearn what you've mastered—you need a current airline pilot to run you through real IFR scenarios, identify the cracks, and build a program that fixes them fast.
Two Paths, One Goal: Airline Standards
Every pilot comes in with different gaps—some need a quick tune-up before an interview, others need a full prep plan for commanding a single-pilot jet. We start with a diagnostic session where a current airline pilot evaluates your flows, callouts, and instrument scan. From there, we build the path that fits: a focused 3-session tune-up, or a comprehensive 6-session readiness program.
Pre-Type-Rating Tune-Up
6 hours (3 sessions) for experienced pilots with solid IFR fundamentals. Sharpens flows, automation discipline, and professional procedures before your type rating slot.
Complete Type Rating Preparation
12 hours (6 sessions) for pilots stepping up from GA to single-pilot jets. Builds professional-grade IFR discipline, automation mastery, and the confidence type rating centers expect.
How We Build the Path
Each program begins with structured IFR trips—real routes that expose how you handle SIDs, STARs, weather, and workload. From there, we adjust every lesson to your specific gaps.
- Day 1: LAS → SFO — SID, enroute, STAR, and approaches in the Bay Area
- Day 2: TEB → BOS — Multi-runway departures, alternates for 121/135/91
- Day 3: DEN → JAC — High-altitude ops, RNAV approaches, holds, diversions, fuel planning
By Day 3, we know exactly where you stand—and where to focus. From there, we expand to other trips (SLC → SUN, HNL → ITO, BOS → JFK, SDQ → STT, GDL → MEX, SKRG → SKBO) until every gap is closed.
If flown to ATP standards, you may also qualify for FAA WINGS credits.
