Which aircraft is best for type rating?
Fortunately, many commercial aircraft share type ratings, allowing qualified pilots to operate both of them with minimal transition training. Examples include Boeing 757 and Boeing 767, Boeing 777 and Boeing 787, Airbus A330 and Airbus A340, and all of the members of the A320 family (the A318, A319, A320, and A321).
Which is better A320 or B737?
The Airbus A320 has a wider cabin than the Boeing 737. It’s only seven inches but can make all the difference to the ride comfort. For passengers, this often means a slightly wider seat, which is always welcome, even on short-haul. Because the cabin is wider, the curvature is less aggressive on the Airbus.
Is type rating necessary?
Anyone who wishes to become a pilot needs to know about type rating. This gets you to a point where you can fly single engine aircraft below a certain weight without obtaining type rating. However, in order to fly on a professional basis, a type rating is necessary.
