Designed for pilots embarking on a
Boeing 737 Type Rating
Preparation transforms the entire experience of your Type Rating, because you are no longer starting from zero. Learn the Boeing 737 in a way that feels practical, logical, and manageable, before your Type Rating even begins.
Expertly put together to help you feel calmer from the very first day of ground school, the difference is not intelligence, it's all in the preparation.


Learn how the aircraft fits together, before ground school even begins
Air systems, electrics, engines, automation and much more stop feeling disconnected when you already understand the bigger picture.
Focus on understanding the aircraft operationally, rather than just memorising disconnected facts.
Build the big picture first, to give yourself the head start you deserve on the amazing journey ahead of you
When the systems already feel familiar, your learning journey becomes far easier.
Familiarity changes everything. The manuals feel clearer, the systems feel logical and the simulator feels less intimidating.
