Type Rating for Commercial Aircraft
Aircraft-specific training for pilots progressing towards commercial jet operations. Aerowis facilitates Type Rating programmes through its associated training partners, with options for aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.
Specialised training for a specific aircraft type
A Type Rating is an additional qualification that allows a pilot to operate an aircraft type requiring specialised training beyond the pilot's existing licence and ratings.
The training combines aircraft-specific knowledge, procedures and simulator training, followed by the applicable assessments and licensing requirements.
Available Type Rating Programmes
A320
Airbus A320 Family
B737
Boeing 737 Family
Training coordinated through Aerowis
Aerowis facilitates Type Rating training through its associated training partners and assists eligible pilots throughout the training process.
Depending on the selected aircraft type and programme, the training includes the required ground training, simulator sessions, assessments and applicable licensing requirements.
Type Rating training is generally undertaken after the required commercial pilot qualifications and may be completed before joining an airline or as part of an airline training pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a type rating?
A type rating is the authority to operate one specific aircraft type, such as the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737. A Commercial Pilot License alone does not let you fly an airliner. Aerowis coordinates the rating through training partners after your CPL.
Which aircraft does Aerowis offer type ratings for?
Aerowis coordinates type ratings on the Airbus A320 family and the Boeing 737 family. Both are narrow-body airliners common in Indian airline fleets. Training is delivered by partner organisations. Ask the advisory desk which type suits the airlines you plan to apply to.
Do I need a CPL before a type rating?
Yes. The type rating sits on top of your Commercial Pilot License. If you do not hold a CPL yet, start with DGCA ground school and flying training. If you already hold one, including a converted overseas licence, speak to the advisory desk about the next step.
Does a type rating guarantee a job?
No. A type rating is not a job offer, a joining letter or a command upgrade. Some airlines hire first and type-rate later, while others prefer pilots who already hold the rating. Check each airline's current requirements before you spend any money.
Should I take a type rating before I have an airline offer?
It depends on the airline. Some hire first and arrange the rating afterwards, sometimes with bond terms that belong to the airline. If you already have an offer letter, bring it to an Aerowis advisor before paying. If you do not, compare the cost against your waiting-period budget.
What does a type rating course cover?
It covers aircraft systems, operating procedures and simulator sessions on the chosen type. The number of simulator sessions and the course length depend on the training partner and aircraft, so ask for the syllabus and a written schedule before you enrol.
How much does a type rating cost and how do I enquire?
The course page does not publish a fee, because the cost depends on the aircraft and training partner. Call or WhatsApp +91 8594 000 730 or email info@aerowis.com, and ask for the partner's written quote, the number of simulator sessions and any airline bond terms.
Which type rating should I choose, A320 or B737?
Choose based on the airlines you plan to apply to, since fleets differ. Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 are both widely flown narrow-body types. Check each airline's current requirements first, then ask the Aerowis advisory desk which rating fits your target employers.
How long is a type rating course?
The length depends on the aircraft and the training partner, and the course page does not publish a fixed duration. Ask for the written schedule, which should show classroom days, simulator sessions and the final check. Plan your finances around that timeline.
Do I need to renew or keep my type rating current?
Yes. Type ratings stay valid only when you meet recency and proficiency checks, usually through airline training once you are employed. Requirements are set by DGCA, so ask the training partner what applies to you and what happens if you are not flying for some time.
Ask whether you need it yet
If you do not hold a CPL, start there. If an airline has already written, bring the letter to the desk.
