B737 Type Rating Renewal
B737 Type Rating Renewal course is intended to renew expired ratings.The period of validity of Boeing 737 type ratings is 1 year. If a type rating has expired, the applicant shall take the following steps:
- pass a proficiency check
- prior to the proficiency check referred to in point (1), take refresher training at an ATO, where necessary to reach the level of proficiency to safely operate the relevant type of aircraft.
B737 Type Rating Renewal Objective
The objective of the refresher training is for the applicant to reach the level of proficiency necessary to safely operate the Boeing 737 aircraft type. The amount of refresher training needed should be determined on a case-by-case basis by the ATO, taking into account the following factors:
- experience of the applicant;
- amount of time elapsed since the privileges of the rating were last used;
- complexity of the aircraft;
- whether the applicant has a current rating on another aircraft type or class; and
- where considered necessary, the performance of the applicant during a simulated proficiency check for the rating in an FSTD or an aircraft of the relevant type.
It should be expected that the amount of training needed to reach the desired level of proficiency will increase analogously to the time elapsed since the privileges of the rating were last used.
B737 Type Rating Renewal Process
As per FCL.740, after having determined the needs of the applicant, the ATO, will develop an individual training programme based on the initial training for the rating, focusing on the aspects where the applicant has shown the greatest needs.
Refresher training should include theoretical knowledge instruction, as necessary, such as for type-specific system failures in complex aircraft. The performance of the applicant should be reviewed during the training and additional instruction should be provided to the applicant, where necessary, to reach the standard required for the proficiency check.
