Default Lowest price PIC Jet type rating.

Does anyone know where I could get the cheapest jet pic type rating at? Any jet at all will do.

Thanks,

MR JT8D

The one paid by an employer? It's free.

737 is probably going to be the lowest. About 5K.

I'd agree. 737 types are probably the cheapest.


But paying for a type (and obviously not caring which one)...why?

News to me. Just seems odd to require any type rating at all as opposed to...oh I dunno...one in the plane he'd be flying. Not that I don't believe you. Just strange.

Thanks. Got that out of an old SimuFlite manual. Just always cracked me up.

It is strange. Don't try to understand foreign governments, it's impossible.

I have a 727 sic type, and other turbo-prop types. I need a command jet type rating for overseas work.

I'll check into the 737 types.

Pan Am Intl Flight Academy in MIA has both 737 and A320 courses.

I have heard it shows your trainable, but why an SIC type rating doesn't do that I can't imagine. There are what...two additional manuevers?
