Recurrent simulator time
Pilots who already hold a B737-Classic type rating seeking recurrent simulator time to stay sharp between checks or contracts.
Currency
Freight & Charter Operator Pilots
Cargo & charter currency
Pilots maintaining currency for active cargo or charter B737-Classic operations, where the 300/400/500 series still flies daily.
Operations Focus
Pilots Returning to the B737-Classic After a Break
Refresher before line ops

Refresher
Pilots Building Multi-Type Currency
Classic + modern NG/MAX
Pilots maintaining proficiency across both a B737-Classic rating and a modern NG/MAX rating, keeping both types current.
Multi-Type PrepWhat These
Sessions Cover
Tactical, proficiency-focused work — not initial-certification ground school. Every block is built around what cargo, charter, and airline pilots need to stay sharp or get selected.
Scenario-Based Abnormal Handling
Engine failures, system degradations, and non-normal scenarios flown as realistic cargo and charter line events — the handling work that erodes fastest between checks.
Classic Flight-Deck Automation Refreshers
B737-Classic autoflight, FMS, and raw-data flying refreshed under instruction, including the differences that matter when moving between Classic and modern fleets.
Cargo & Charter SOP Practice
Sessions can be flown to freight, charter, or ACMI operator SOPs and callouts, so the practice transfers directly to the line or the assessment.
Assessment & Sim-Check Preparation
Structured rehearsal of the profiles cargo and charter operators use in hiring sim checks, with debriefing against the standards assessors apply.
Key Training Features

Flexible Hourly Scheduling
Book the simulator time you need without committing to a full certification course — sessions scheduled around your availability.
Briefings With Cargo & Charter Experienced Instructors
Every session is framed by a structured pre-brief and debrief led by instructors with real B737-Classic freight and charter line experience.
Assessment-Specific Prep Available
Tell us which operator's process you're preparing for and the session is built around that carrier's known profile and standards.
Built Around Proficiency
No fixed course length, no certification syllabus — book the hours you need, when you need them, in the same Level D devices used for initial type-rating training.
Book Hours, Not A Course
Sessions are scheduled around your availability and built around your objective — recurrent proficiency, cargo/charter assessment preparation, or a return-to-type refresher.
B737-Classic Simulator Session Structure
Every booked hour follows the same professional rhythm: a structured briefing, the simulator block itself, and a debrief you can act on.
Step 01
Pre-Session Briefing
Before The Simulator
Every booked block starts with a structured briefing. You and your instructor agree the objectives for the session — recurrent handling, a specific cargo or charter assessment profile, or targeted weak areas — and walk through the scenarios before the simulator moves.
This Step Includes
- Objectives agreed before the session starts
- Scenarios and profiles tailored to your goal
- SOP and callout alignment for your operator or target carrier
Outcome: No simulator minute is wasted deciding what to practice.
Step 02
Simulator Block
Level D Full-Motion Device
The simulator block itself. Sessions run in the Level D full-motion B737-Classic simulator, flown as a crew where required, working through the scenarios agreed in the briefing.
This Step Includes
- Full-motion, full-visual Level D simulation
- Normal, abnormal, and emergency scenarios as briefed
- Assessment profiles run under realistic cargo/charter conditions
Outcome: Realistic reps against the exact standard you need to meet.
Step 03
Debrief & Next Steps
After The Simulator
Every session closes with a detailed debrief: what met the standard, what didn't, and what to work on next — whether that's another booked hour or a return to the line with confidence.
This Step Includes
- Structured performance debrief with your instructor
- Specific items to practice before your next session or check
- Guidance on further hours if more work is needed
Outcome: You leave knowing exactly where you stand and what comes next.
