March 4, 2013 - PRLog -- These packages are designed for pilots have A320 experience and want to add an A330 and A340 type rating to their certificate.

Flight Training International (FTI) is proud to announce special CCQ A320 to A330, A340 (http://ftiratings.com/ccq-airbus-a320-a330-a340-type-rating-package/) pricing available now until April 30, 2013. “Under our new curriculum, pilots holding an A320 type rating are eligible for a shortened Cross Crew Qualification (CCQ) course that results in both A330 and an A340 type rating,” said Mike Medley, president at Flight Training International.

“The A330 is one of the most popular and fastest growing airplane types in the Airbus family. We expect there to be a significant demand for qualified A330 pilots over the next several years. FTI is now among the very few providers of training for the heavy jets in the Airbus family.

“Current A320 pilots will have the option to conduct CCQ training in either the A330 or A340 and get both type ratings with one trip to the training center,” said Medley.

FTI created four CCQ routes to make CCQ available to the widest range of pilots possible.  Routes 1 through 3 below were designed for pilot’s holding at least an FAA commercial certificate.  Route 4 is designed for pilots holding non-FAA certificates from ICAO member nations.

Having multiple Airbus type ratings is the secret to being noticed by Airbus carriers. Current A320 pilots can add two heavy Airbus type ratings to their certificate. Pilots holding A320, A330, A340 type ratings will stand out from the competition.

“This can help you get to the interview first, get hired first, and then start building that all important seniority,” said Medley.

According to Joe Delisle, chief pilot of FTIs Miami campus, and B767/A320/A330 captain, “multiple type ratings on your certificate will make you more marketable, especially if an airline flies or has ordered any of the aircraft types you have qualified for. Contract pilots will benefit the most.”
