Boeing 767
Last updated: 2026-04-21
The Boeing 767 is a twin-engine widebody seating 180-375 passengers, operated by TUI and other European charter carriers on transatlantic routes and popular as a first widebody progression type rating. 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 Boeing 767 used for in flight training?
The 767 type rating is valued at European leisure carriers such as TUI Airways, which operate large 767 fleets on transatlantic leisure routes. For 737-qualified pilots seeking widebody progression, the 767 offers a Boeing-family progression with familiar controls philosophy. Key training areas include ETOPS procedures, overwater emergency management, and the additional fuel systems associated with long-range operations. The 767's conventional yoke-and-column controls contrast with the Airbus sidestick, so pilots transitioning from the 737 will find the handling philosophy familiar despite the larger airframe.
