Questions and answers
What is the difference between a dry and a wet FFS lease?
A dry lease provides the full flight simulator only; a wet lease provides the simulator together with an instructor. MECCTI offers both for assessments.
Can you assess both type rated and non-type rated pilots?
Yes. Assessments cover type rated and non-type rated pilots.
Where are assessments held?
MECCTI centralised its pilot training and assessment in Turkey in 2013, in cooperation with IFTC, the Boeing centre in Istanbul. Tell us your requirements and we will confirm the arrangements for your assessment.
Can you also recruit the pilots?
Yes. Assessment can be part of a full pilot recruitment service.
