Pan Am A320 Type Rating Questions.

Minima-No-Contact · February 1st, 2005, 09:59

Hi everyone,

I am considering attending PAN AM academy for an A320 type rating in the near future.

Has anyone here had any good/bad experiences with this type rating course? Or any other type rating course of theirs for that matter?

Since I would be attending as an International student and will need to be able to stick to a strict time-line, is their quoted 27 days accurate? Obviously assuming I don't mess up anything along the way that is...

The last question I have; Is accomodation relatively affordable? what sort of options would I have close to the academy?

* The training centers in the package sent to me, list Miami or Minneapolis (Northwest Airlines Training Center).

* Before I get berated with PFT posts... I have 3100hrs with over 2200 multi/turbine, and will not be buying a job... simply getting the rating so I can be considered for a job or three.

I'd appreciate any info at all.
Cheers

I think if you look on the Pan Am Academy website, you will see the links for Commercial Pilot Training. They are the ones I think you need to contact.

Good luck!

The training center in Minneapolis is actually in Eagan, MN. clsoe to the intersection of Interstate 494 and Dodd Road. I am not sure if NWA trains there or not, but I the training center is in teh same building as Mesaba Airlines, a NWA regional carrier.

Thanks for the info everyone... and no need to report me to anyone thanks

I'd like to avoid any rubber glove treatment on arrival to the US!

Pan Am are offering me a good deal for the type compared to alot of other companies. I'm just hoping its course that is well recognised and has a good reputation.

Cheers,
