AEROWA offers SFI assessment of competence (AoC) services for A320 and A330 instructors in Bangkok. This service is for synthetic flight instructors planning certificate revalidation or renewal. Your existing privileges, recent instructional experience and certificate status determine what needs to be arranged.

Who this service is for

  • A320 or A330 Synthetic Flight Instructors preparing for certificate revalidation.
  • SFI certificate holders returning to simulator instruction after a lapse.
  • Individual instructors arranging their own assessment and preparation.

Prepare for simulator instruction assessment

  • Review the SFI certificate, aircraft type, expiry date and simulator-related privileges.
  • Discuss lesson structure, trainee observation, instructional interventions and debriefing.
  • Plan preparation around your ability to teach in the relevant simulator environment.
  • Confirm the applicable assessment, examiner and supporting documentation before you commit to travel.

  • Recent instructional activity and any relevant refresher or assessment records.
  • Preferred dates, roster constraints and whether a separate pilot proficiency check is also needed.

The assessment date and any separate training requirements are confirmed after review. See our instructor and examiner arrangements and EASA Examiner Differences Document.

Frequently asked questions

How much simulator time is needed for an SFI AoC?

For A320 and A330 SFI AoC, plan at least 3 hours of simulator instruction in line with AMC4 FCL.935. Allow additional time for briefing, debriefing and documentation. Any separate refresher training or pilot proficiency check is arranged separately.

Can I book an A320 or A330 SFI AoC as an individual?

Yes. AEROWA accepts direct requests from self-sponsored A320 and A330 Synthetic Flight Instructors. Tell us your aircraft type, certificate status and dates.

What is the difference between SFI and TRI AoC services?

These services concern different instructor certificates and privileges. The SFI service focuses on synthetic flight instruction. Send your certificate so the assessment request is matched to the correct instructor category.

Can you arrange an AoC after my SFI certificate has expired?

You can request renewal support. We first review your certificate and experience, then confirm the assessment and any additional training or evidence required for your route.

What information should I send first?

Start with the aircraft type, SFI certificate expiry date, issuing authority, recent simulator instruction and preferred dates. We will tell you which records are needed for the detailed review.

What is included in my SFI AoC quote?

The assessment scope, preparation, simulator arrangements, examiner and documentation are confirmed individually. Any additional refresher training or separate pilot check should be identified in your request. Ask about promotional availability for your preferred dates.
