Faster type rating training for experienced pilots
Created by Boeing, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), our Shortened Type Rating courses offer a condensed curriculum for experienced pilots and flight crews who have relevant airplane knowledge and operational proficiency.
Featuring Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) principles, the courses use scenario-based exercises and data-driven performance assessments to hone core skills in areas such as technical knowledge, Flight Path Management, and Threat and Error Management.
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.
Why choose Boeing Shortened Type Rating courses
Boeing OEM expertise
Train with Boeing, the organization that designed, built, and tested your airplane. Every procedure, system, and simulator scenario is designed and validated by our engineers and operational experts, ensuring alignment with the flight deck philosophy.
CBTA methodology
Boeing CBTA focuses on competencies that drive performance: decision-making, communication, workload management, and resilience. Our instructors are CBTA qualified, guiding pilots to demonstrate why they act, not just how.
Global standardization
All Boeing campuses operate under unified standards for curriculum, instructor calibration, and assessment, ensuring consistent training outcomes across our global fleets.
Regulatory compliance and industry alignment
Boeing Shortened Type Rating courses are aligned with ICAO and IATA standards, continuing to support the aviation industry’s transition to CBTA. This approach fosters a more operationally focused, performance-driven pilot training experience.
Benefits of CBTA resilience
Unlike traditional type rating courses, Boeing Shortened Type Rating courses integrate critical CBTA skills throughout the program to enhance safety, build resilience, and ensure a more efficient learning experience. Pilots will hone skills such as:
Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT)
Practice recovery while experiencing unusual attitudes and undesired aircraft states.
Line Operational Scenarios (LOS)
Synthesize learnings in a realistic setting, with unexpected events that induce genuine startle and surprise effects.
Threat and Error Management (TEM)
Proactively identify, manage, and recover from risks to prevent incidents and enhance flight safety.

Fly. Focus. Act.
Boeing courses with CBTA principles hone pilots’ human-factor competencies through flexible thinking and startle management training. Risk anticipation is an essential strategy for building resilience. When a pilot anticipates an event, the event becomes less of a surprise — and the startle reaction less intense.
Continuous learning integration
Boeing Shortened Type Rating courses connect seamlessly to your broader pilot development ecosystem through:
Specialized operational courses on a variety of modules, such as Short Field Performance, UPRT/EET, Low Visibility Operations, Windshear, and more.
Procedural training in a digital environment. Available on 737 MAX and coming soon on 737NG, 787, and 777-9.
Instructor expertise
Boeing instructors are airline veterans, test pilots, and training specialists who combine decades of operational experience with proven CBTA coaching techniques. Each instructor is OEM qualified and undergoes continuous standardization to ensure global consistency in evaluation and delivery.
