A-320 to A-330 Cross Conversion Qualification (CCQ) Course

This short course provides for training and certification on the Airbus A-330. Those wishing to take the CCQ course must be current and qualified on the Airbus A320. If your currency has expired, you will be required to re qualify on the A-320. The amount of time required on the A-320 is dependent on how quickly you can demonstrate proficiency. Normally it should not take longer than one four-hour session. Once you are proficient and current on the A-320, the cross conversion course to the A-330 is as follows.

Final Check Ride
The check ride with the department of transport will take approximately 2 hours. You will also receive 2 hours PNF if you have a paying partner.

After successful completion, an A-330 type rating will be endorsed on your Canadian Pilots license. Alternatively, those students wishing to have the A-330 type rating on their domicile license should obtain a certified letter from Transport Canada. This letter will be accepted by your domicile Civil Aviation Authority, and they will register the type rating on your domicile license.

Cost
The cost of the CCQ course is $9900.00 in US funds.
Minimum Requirements
Transport Canada has a minimum requirement of 250 hours total time, before you can under go a type rating with us. You also must have a valid pilot's license and a multi-instrument rating, either an Airline Transport Rating or have completed the Transport Canada multi crew exam.

World wide acceptance of Your Rating
Unlike American licenses, Canadian licenses may be accepted in other ICAO countries. For students that hold French or British licenses and acquire 500 hours on type, and undertake a successful JAA simulator check ride with an approved TRTO. You will be granted a JAA/JAR type rating on your Euro license. There are an increasing number of countries (Belgium, Denmark, Australia, Luxembourg, Serbia, Jordan and others) that only require a letter from Transport Canada acknowledging that you have met all the requirements in successfully attaining a type rating. With this letter, you do not have to write off ANY Canadian exams, nor attend a medical exam and will have the rating endorsed on your license in your domicile country.

Accommodation while on course
We recommend the Travel Lodge in Richmond. Their rates vary from summer to winter but generally are around $80 dollars per night.


Security Check
Unlike the United States, Canada does not require a national security check, or a waiting period. An in-house security check is only required for use of the simulator facilities. This check is done when your application is processed.
