Career Type Ratings and Training

Type ratings control which aircraft families your Career pilot can fly. In Career Mode, you do not automatically get access to every aircraft. Your airline, contract, training state, and type ratings decide what you can dispatch.

​
What a type rating means

A type rating is Career permission to fly an aircraft family. Examples:
  • A320 family.
  • 737 family.
  • 777 family.
  • 787 family.
The exact family names depend on FlyHub’s aircraft data.

​
Why type ratings matter

Type ratings affect:
  • Which jobs you can accept.
  • Which airline fleets are useful to you.
  • Which Dispatch routes are available.
  • Which aircraft appear in training.
  • Which aircraft can be assigned in Career My Flights.
  • Which future opportunities FlyHub can offer you.

​
Starter training

When you begin Career Mode, your first airline can require starter training. The difficulty changes the training requirement:
DifficultyTraining flightsMinimum average
Easy57.0/10
Normal108.0/10
Hard159.0/10
If you pass, you earn the type rating and move into normal employment. If you fail, FlyHub can route you into a recovery path depending on your Career state.

​
Market training

Some Job Market offers require training before employment. The offer and contract show:
  • Aircraft family.
  • Required training flights.
  • Minimum score average.
  • Pilot cost share.
  • Training pay rate.
  • Base and airline.
Normal market training can pay less than full employment while you complete the program.

​
Internal type opportunities

Your current airline can offer a new type rating after you build time and seniority. Internal opportunities are not constant. They are chance-based and depend on your Career state. The usual requirements are:
  • You have been with the airline long enough.
  • You have strong seniority at that airline.
  • You are not already in active type training.
  • The airline has an aircraft family you are not rated for.
When an internal type opportunity appears, FlyHub opens an offer window after you read the opportunity. The offer can expire, so do not open it unless you are ready to decide. Internal opportunities normally cover most of the training cost through the airline. The pilot pays the remaining share.

​
Type-rating cost

Career type ratings use a $100,000 base cost unless the app shows a different value. The airline may cover all, most, or part of the cost depending on the opportunity. Before accepting training, check:
  • Total rating cost.
  • Airline coverage.
  • Pilot share.
  • Your balance.
  • Loan availability.
  • Training pay.
  • Required performance average.

​
During training

Training changes what Dispatch shows. While you are training on a type, Dispatch focuses on that training family. Even if you already have other type ratings, FlyHub can limit visible dispatch work until the training program is complete. This keeps the training contract clean and prevents unrelated line work from interfering.

​
Passing training

To pass training:
  1. Sign the training contract.
  2. Complete the required training flights.
  3. Keep the average score above the contract minimum.
  4. Wait for FlyHub to process the training result.
  5. Sign the employment or updated contract if required.
After passing, the type rating appears in your Career profile and the related aircraft family can become available when your airline fleet supports it.

​
Failing training

Failing training can have consequences. Depending on the training path, you can:
  • Lose the offer.
  • Return to a previous line contract.
  • Become unemployed.
  • Receive a recovery offer.
  • Need to find another job path through Job Market.
Always read the contract before starting training. The contract tells you the score requirement and what you are agreeing to.

​
Recurrent training and currency

Career Mode can require recurrent checks to keep you current. Line checks and medical checks are separate from normal type-rating training. If you miss required checks or fail a line check, you can be grounded until the issue is fixed. For compliance rules, see Career Compliance.

​
Common mistakes

  • Accepting training without checking the cost share.
  • Forgetting that training can limit Dispatch to one aircraft family.
  • Assuming a type rating is useful at every airline.
  • Ignoring the required average score.
  • Opening an offer and letting the timer expire.
  • Forgetting that Career scoring affects training outcomes.
