same State Regulatory Authority (CAA) who has approved the ATO.
4.9 The type rating training shall be conducted as per the syllabus stipulated in Appendix
A of this CAR.
4.10 Complete Type Rating training as covered in this CAR shall be completed within 06
months from the date of commencement of FFS training. If there is a break in training
in between FFS stage, then the minimum training to restart the FFS shall be as follows:
a) Gap more than 30 days: 01 FFS with 02 hrs. PF
b) If the period of training exceeds six months, the training shall be started again
from the beginning.

The student pilot should be trained to apply the core competencies to conduct a safe and efficient
operation in realistic airline operations scenarios. The airline-representative scenarios should
include normal and non-normal situations. Operations should be run in real time according to a
typical schedule. The scenarios should be constructed in an airline context in order to emphasise
