The course consists of following training elements:

• CBT/WBT accomplished at the customer’s home base (distant learning) or at the training site determined by MTI.
• Theoretical TRT including Classroom Lectures / Other Training Tools
• Theoretical TRT examination according Part-FCL
• Theoretical TRT Systems Integration on Flight Training
• Devices (FTD or FBS) Practical TRT on full flight simulators (FFS)
• Optional FFS session LVO (stand alone syllabus)
• Practical TRT skill test on a full flight simulator (FFS), incl. LVO Optional FFS session ZFTT (stand alone syllabus)

This training program uses the term A220 when referring to A220-100 or A220-300. The EASA type rating is BD- 500. Successful completion of this course prepares pilots for the issue of an A220 (BD-500) type rating on their current pilot license:

The TRT takes place on the A220 simulator.

Level A familiarization training between the A220-100/300 aircraft in both directions is performed in the form of self- instruction by means of a differences handout (OSD Rev06/01. Apr. 2020; Chapter 6.2).

Level B familiarization training between Build 7.5 and Build 8.0a (OSD Rev06/01. Apr. 2020; Chapter 6.3) is a CBT training and required only until the content has been integrated in the A220 Initial Type Rating Training.

Training and checking has to be performed according to the above stated sequence. The next element can only be started if the previous training or checking element has been successfully completed.

The Pre-Entry Requirements are either taken from FCL.720.A (b) (5) or as defined in the relevant Operational Suitability Data (OSD). If Pre-Entry Requirements are defined in OSD, this requirement will supersede Part-FCL.
