UK-headquartered Gama Aviation has received EASA approval to conduct the landing training required for the issue of aircraft type ratings. This enables the company to carry out training programmes under the new interpretation of the EASA's Part-FCL requirements regarding base training.

The ATO initially covers seven types of aircraft including Challenger, Global Express and Gulfstream G550 types, with more to be added in the near future. Gama anticipates that within a few months it will be able to provide training on up to 30 aircraft types.
