Facility Hopes To Launch Simulator Next Month

BAA Training launches a new Boeing 737 MAX Type Rating program, fully authorized by the Civil Aviation Authorities. 

BAA Training Spain will be the location where instruction and training takes place in the brand new full flight simulator for the Boeing 737 MAX, with hopes to be ready by October 2021.

“Our professional team has prepared a new quality Boeing 737 MAX Type Rating program for licenced pilots who want to fly the 737 MAX type professionally and safe,” says Arunas Miezanskas, Head of Training at BAA Training. “The program has been written in line with the stiff EASA requirements and covers all the crucial elements, including but not limited to Boeing 737 MAX FCC and MCAS, multiple flight deck alerts during non-normal conditions, stabilizer trim, etc. We expect training pilots for a number of airlines in Europe and others with Boeing 737MAX in their fleet.”

The Boeing 737 MAX Type Rating will be offered to clients looking to expand their capabilities flying the Boeing 737 MAX. Currently the aircraft is allowed to fly in the US and Europe among other countries. In China, the grounding is coming closer to being lifted.

According to the company, the following outlines the Boeing 737 MAX Type Rating program:

• “The theoretical part consists of 110 training hours, and the flight training in a simulator takes 40 training hours to complete. The theory hours further break down into 90 hours of ground school training and 20 hours of Cockpit Procedures Training. The 40 training hours devoted to flight training represent 9 FFS sessions of 36 hours and a skill test of 4 hours.”
• “The Boeing 737NG to Boeing 737 MAX Differences Training will highlight critical differences between the types, creating a smooth and convenient route to flying the Boeing 737 MAX for pilots already type-rated on Boeing 737NG. The program will include computer-based and simulator training while fully complying with EASA’s standards and Boeing’s recommendations.”
