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: | Difficulty | Training flights | Minimum average | | ---------- | ---------------: | --------------: | | Easy | 5 | 7.0/10 | | Normal | 10 | 8.0/10 | | Hard | 15 | 9.0/10 | 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 type training is paid by your current airline. You keep your current salary during training and do not pay a type-rating share. ## Type-rating cost Career type-rating prices depend on the aircraft family: | Aircraft family group | Typical price | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------: | | Turboprops, including ATR | \$5,000 | | Regional jets, including Embraer regional families | \$10,000 | | Narrowbodies, including A320 and 737 families | \$15,000 | | Widebodies, including the 787 family | \$20,000 | | Flagship heavy aircraft, including 747 and A380 families | \$25,000 | The exact price shown in the offer is the price that applies. If FlyHub adds a new aircraft family before it receives a reviewed price, it temporarily uses the \$15,000 standard-family price. Aircraft added to an existing family inherit that family's price. External market training normally requires you to pay the displayed type-rating price. Internal type training with your current airline is company-paid. Before accepting training, check: * Total rating cost. * Whether the training is external or company-paid. * 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 A purchased rating stays current when you fly that aircraft family at least once every 90 days. If a rating expires, it is not removed. You can restore it by flying the family again or by completing simulator recurrency. Simulator recurrency costs 10% of each expired self-funded rating's price. One session restores all expired ratings and the total session fee is capped at \$2,500. Retraining for aircraft families operated by your current airline is free. 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](/career-compliance). ## Common mistakes * Accepting external training without checking the displayed price. * 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.
