Training programs

With our TRI/SFI instructors, supplementary support programs for Boeing B737NG and Airbus A320-200, tailored to your specific needs and career goals.

  1. Type Rating Support Training (A320, B737): supplementary support for pilots preparing for a type rating: type-specific systems, procedures and flow practice. This is not a type rating course.
  2. Airline Assessment Preparation (A320, B737): real airline assessment and interview scenarios with experienced captains, to get through recruitment stress-free. We have prepared candidates for the assessment processes of airlines recruiting pilots in Türkiye and Europe, as well as international airlines such as Ryanair, Azul, Air Astana and Qatar Airways, and airlines in Türkiye including SunExpress, Turkish Airlines and Pegasus. Candidates who join airlines also choose us for type rating support, LIFUS support training and LPC/OPC check preparation. Airline names only describe the selection processes; Sky Aviation is not affiliated with these airlines.
  3. LPC/OPC Check Preparation (A320, B737): refresh technical knowledge and operational procedures before your official check.
  4. Command Upgrade Support Training (A320, B737): supplementary support for captain upgrade preparation with our captain trainers.
  5. CRM Preparation (A320, B737): crew resource management refresher with real application.
  6. LIFUS Support Training (A320, B737): supplementary preparation for line flying under supervision: line procedures, standard calls and flows. Not a substitute for LIFUS in an aircraft.

About Sky Flight Training Center

Sky Flight Training Center, with our TRI/SFI instructors, is a brand of Sky Aviation founded in 2020. 15,000+ simulator training hours on our fixed-base B737NG and A320 devices since September 2022. Since September 2022, more than 2,500 pilot candidates and pilots have trained with us for simulator or test preparation. We provide supplementary support training for airline pilots, at Sky Aviation Plaza, Altunizade Mahallesi Oymacı Sokak No: 16/1, Üsküdar, Istanbul. Our B737NG and A320-200 simulators are advanced fixed-base training devices. They are not EASA or SHGM qualified and are not an FNPT II, so sessions with us do not count towards a license issue or renewal, a type rating skill test, or an official LPC/OPC. Your official training and checks are completed at approved organizations and devices; we support and prepare you for them.

Coming soon: EASA Level-D

Sky Aviation is preparing for ATO authorization. Separately from our current fixed-base devices, pre-orders have been placed for one custom-built Airbus A320 NEO/CEO Full Flight EASA Level-D and one custom-built Boeing B737-900/MAX Full Flight EASA Level-D simulator. These are a future investment and are not yet in service.
