A109 Type Rating Training Courses

Our A109 Type Rating training courses are run by professional, licensed pilots with experience of flying military and civilian aircraft. Students return again and again to train with Castle Air Academy because we deliver the best courses for the best price. In June 2016, Castle Air and Bristow Academy UK merged training capabilities, facilities and instructors, resulting in us now being the largest pilot training school in the UK.

We have trained well over 300 instrument trained pilots and those who meet our high standards are offered a career path, because of our position as the leading helicopter charter company. Students learn in a relaxed, friendly environment and our model is used as a benchmark industry-wide. When your course has ended, we stay by your side and guide you through the daunting CAA process of submitting your application and receiving your qualification.

Castle Air Academy offer competitively priced A109 Type Rating training courses

Our purpose-built facility in Gloucestershire Airport boasts three simulators:

• AS355 Elite Simulator FNPTII

• AW109E Simulator – The only one of its kind in the UK, this is an aircraft replica with autopilot, force trim, SAS, control feedback forces and full EFIS display. Perfectly replicates the switch gear and cockpit of the training aircraft we use to offer a seamless transition from simulator to aircraft.

It is highly recommended that simulators are used to practice and there is no additional cost for this, ideal for short courses, such as those taken by ICAO Conversion and Military instrument students.
