Easy Jet

Selection for Easy Jet is usually run on the A320 simulator. All entry types Cadet, NTR, TR and DEC. We also run extensive courses for pre-type training on the A320 lead by A320 captains. This involves ground school, introduction in the airbus simulator to cockpit flows, pre-flight / power up / programming the MCDU (FMC) and introduction to philosophy on the airbus type. Then a normal A to B route (starting from Gate as an option), usually with a minor technical issue to introduce ECAM followed by a normal take-off, flying the flight plan and finally a normal landing at destination. Having an initial training detail like this prior to the type rating really helps to put the main elements of the type rating course into context. A good example and overview is shown here in this video. A typical training session for the above is 3 to 5hrs in duration (depending what is to be covered), so the video simply shows a snap shot of the style and type of instruction.
