Simulator Training and Certification

Eligibility:

Simulator-only training and certification require a minimum level of practical experience. For the Boeing B-737 NG program, you must meet at least one of the following:

·         Hold a type rating (no PIC limitation) in a multi-engine turbojet airplane.

·         Log 500 hours on B-737 aircraft.

·         Possess 1,000 hours of flight time in two different multi-engine turbojet airplanes.

·         Have logged 2,000 hours total flight time, with 500 hours in multi-engine turbine aircraft.

·         Be a U.S. Armed Forces pilot appointed as PIC in a multi-engine turbojet aircraft.

Limitation on Simulator-Only Training:

If you don't currently meet these requirements, you can still complete all simulator training and testing. However, you'll receive a limitation on your license stating: "The AMEL B-737 is subject to additional PIC limitations."

This limitation can be removed by fulfilling 25 hours of operating experience as PIC on a B-737 under the supervision of a qualified and current instructor. For most First Officer positions at airlines, this limitation shouldn't be an issue.
