A330 ZFTT type approval
Get your A330 Type Rating thanks to our experienced active pilots, manuals and updated materials.
Course objectives
The objectives of this Airbus A330 ZFTT Aircraft Type Rating Course are:
- To train the aspiring pilot by integrating theoretical instruction, knowledge and skills necessary to safely operate the aircraft certified for more than one pilot, in a cooperative environment with other crewmembers.
- Ensure that the applicant pilot performs normal, abnormal and emergency operations safely and properly and that he/she is aware of the limitations of the aircraft and its systems, as well as the aircraft’s performance.
- And, of course, passing the level tests, exams and proficiency checks with the required level of security.
Applicant pilot prerequisites
According to FCL.730.A, the specific requirements for pilots conducting a Type Rating course with ZFTT (Zero Flight Training Time) applicable to our course are:
Have completed, in a multi-pilot turboprop aircraft certificated to CS-25 standards or equivalent airworthiness code or in a multi-pilot turboprop aircraft with a certificated maximum takeoff mass (MTOW) of not less than 10 tons or a certificated passenger seating configuration of more than 19 passengers, at least 500 hours of flight time or 100 route sectors.
Therefore, the following shall be required:
- Possess a license with a previous Type Rating noted.
- Hold a valid Class 1 medical certificate.
- Present a certificate showing more than 500 flight hours or 100 en route sectors in an aircraft complying with FCL.730.
- Agreement signed by the operator to carry out the ZFTT.
What is our training like?
The A330 Type Rating course with ZFTT consists of a normal type rating course except for the last phase of the training, the Base Training is replaced by a simulator session where you will practice 4 or 6 takeoffs and takeoffs depending on your flight experience.
Training in 3 phases + ZFTT session.
Course content
The course is divided into a theoretical and a practical phase.
THEORETICAL PHASE
Objectives of the Theoretical Phase
- The applicant will acquire a thorough knowledge of the aircraft structure, engines and systems and their associated limitations, including mass and center of gravity considerations, performance and flight planning.
- During this phase, you will also learn the location of system controls and indicators, as well as their operation and use.
- The applicant will understand and identify system failures, their effect on aircraft operation and their interaction on other systems.
- The applicant will know and know how to perform normal, abnormal and emergency procedures.
Duration of the Theoretical Phase
- The duration of this phase is 20 days, during which training in procedures and systems, progress tests and the final exam will be carried out.
- The 20 days of pure training include self-study and distance learning days with the CBT, in which the student will have an instructor available to resolve any doubts.
FBS SIMULATOR
Features of the FNTPII simulator:
- Cylindrical triple projection, Full HD, with 200 degrees of field of view.
- Photorealistic scenery, with high resolution orography, with detailed airports, runways, taxiways, numbered parking lots, etc.
- Worldwide database with more than 24,000 airports, VORs, NDBs, and ILS continuously updated.
- Fully configurable weather, Category I, II and III windshear, etc.
- Instructor's panel with touch screen monitor, with capacity to re-situate in different phases of approaches, TCAS resolutions, modify load sheets, analysis of flight phase charts.
FFS SIMULATOR PHASE
The FFS simulator training of the course will consist of 8 sessions of 4 hours each, programmed in a logical sequence that favors learning.
You will be trained in the normal, abnormal and emergency procedures published in the Aircraft Flight Manual. The 32 hours of FFS simulator flight (16 as PF and 16 as PM) before the exam will ensure that you are sufficiently prepared to pass successfully.
The Skill Test will take place upon completion of the training and will be conducted in a ninth 4-hour session. Once the Skill Test is completed, the ZFTT will be performed in another simulator session.
