Flight Training > Courses > Type Ratings

The Bristol Flying Centre is a Civil Aviation Authority approved Type Rating Training Organisation.

We offer 7 day ground school and aircraft based training courses for the Citation Jet CJ 525 and Beechcraft BE200 aircraft.

Ground studies consist of a 3 days technical course conducted at Bristol International Airport Followed by a 4 day Flight Training and Testing Phase.

Thanks to our excellent relationship with the CAA we are often able to negotiate reduced flying training hours for candidates with appropriate experience (usually turbine experience), this of course results in reduced costs to the candidate.

Minimum pre-entry requirements

As an aircraft based (not simulator) course we offer (subject to availability) a CJ 525 with Honeywell SPZ-5000 system and EFIS. Our BE200 is fitted with EFIS-FMS-MFD which adds an extra dimension to the course content.

Flight Training includes a revision of Instrument Approach Procedures including Instrument Rating renewal/revalidation if required.

Bristol Flying Centre has been in the professional flight training and AOC market for many years and look forward to working with both individuals and fellow operators looking for outsourced training or type-rated recruits.

We are able to offer training utilising your own aircraft.
