About the Course

Command goes beyond technique. Prepare to lead.

Taking command of an aircraft is not just a natural career progression; it is a profound responsibility that requires vision, maturity, leadership, and behavioral mastery.

The Type Rating Center (TRC) Non-Technical Command Course is designed to prepare future commanders for the real challenges of the cockpit, focusing exclusively on the non-technical aspects of command. This course complements technical and operational training, developing the human and management skills that make a difference.
