Last updated: 2026-04-21
The Fokker 100 is a Dutch 107-seat twin-turbofan regional jet powered by Rolls-Royce Tay engines, operated by KLM Cityhopper and Austrian Airlines on European regional routes. It is a workhorse of European EASA general-aviation training fleets, used at both DTO and ATO operators for hour-building and rating progression. undefined
What is the Fokker 100 used for in flight training?
The Fokker 100 type rating is a specialised qualification given the limited number of operators following Fokker's 1996 bankruptcy. KLM Cityhopper and Austrian Airlines maintain internal type training programmes for the aircraft. Its conventional hydraulic flight controls and Tay engine management provide a different training focus from modern fly-by-wire jets. Pilots who hold the Fokker 100 type and qualify on the Fokker 70 do so via differences training within the F70/F100 common type.
