Boeing Business Jets training courses

Type Rating and Recurrent Training with CBTA principles

Building resilience through competence, confidence, and connection

Advanced performance training for confident executive operations

Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) Full Type Rating and Recurrent Training courses prepare professional pilots and flight crews to successfully operate the newest generations of BBJ.

Developed by Boeing — the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) — and featuring Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) principles, our BBJ training courses go beyond regulatory minimums, homing in on essential skills like decision-making, workload management, and safety performance in corporate and VIP operations.

Boeing Flight Training programs develop pilot competence, not simply by requiring a set number of hours but by emphasizing the mastery of essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This foundation builds confidence and fosters connection through collaborative relationships between pilots, instructors, and digital tools that promote continuous learning and teamwork.
