CAE Pilot Type Rating Programme (A320 / B737 / A350 / B777 / A380)
EASA / FAA / GCAA-approved type-rating courses on Airbus and Boeing fleets — delivered in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Madrid.
CAE delivers airline pilot type-rating programmes across the world's most flown fleets — A320 family, A330, A350, A380, B737NG/MAX, B777, B787 and the Embraer E-Jet family. Courses are EASA Part-FCL, FAA Part 142 and GCAA-approved and run on Level D 7000XR simulators paired with CAE-engineered courseware, structured threat-and-error management modules and CAE Rise objective debrief data. Joint ventures with Emirates (Emirates-CAE Flight Training, Dubai), Etihad Aviation Training (Abu Dhabi) and Qatar Airways (Doha) put the programme on the doorstep of every major Gulf carrier, with English-language delivery and SOP-bridge modules so cadets transition straight into the operator's line.
