Cockpit familiarisation, not a type rating
A guided session for cockpit layout, flight instruments and basic procedures. Orientation for cadets still on the papers — not the A320/B737 rating, and not 200 commercial hours.

Calicut Academy session
What the session covers
The published brief is cockpit layouts, instruments and basic operational procedures. We do not invent hour counts or a simulator type that is not named on the site.
Layout and instruments
Where the primary instruments sit and how a cockpit is arranged before you meet a partner-school aircraft.
Basic procedures
A guided look at operational flow. This is not airline SOP training and not a check ride.
Where it does not sit
Type rating on A320 or B737 is a later, partner-delivered brief after CPL. See Type Rating.
Ask if the next session is on the calendar
Admissions will say whether familiarisation is part of your current batch plan.
