Bombardier Dash 8 Classic Type Training

Part 147 approved
Dash 8 type CouRSE

Approved Dash 8 Classic type training for engineers working toward B1.1 or B2 outcomes on the DHC-8-100/200/300 fleet.

Theory Course

Face to face online theory for Dash 8

Held online via teams over four weeks, the theory program covers all knowledge training and assessment required for a type rating on the Dash 8. At the successful completion of this course, the student will have gained sufficient knowledge of the Bombardier DHC-8-100/200/300 necessary to perform and certify maintenance tasks permitted to be carried out as certifying staff in the category B1.1 &/or B2 – students can also elect to pair with a Practical (On Course) training program for the practical elements of the type rating.

It provides detailed description, operation, component location, removal/installation, BITE and troubleshooting procedures to a maintenance manual level. The student will have an understanding of the specific human factor issues that may be associated with this particular aircraft type.

POC Course for Dash 8

Run regularly each year, Sigma Aerospace College’s Bombardier DHC-8-100/200/300 POC course is the practical component of type training for B1/B2 engineers who need a current, structured pathway to a Dash 8 type rating outcome. Built to CASA Part 147 requirements, the course is designed to take the theory off the page and into the aircraft environment through guided practical training aligned to the aircraft’s core systems, maintenance practices and certification context. This course is delivered as face-to-face ‘Practical on Course’ POC at a maintenance facility in either SYD, BNE, CBR, or MEL using an operational aircraft that is readily available for the training session

Rather than generic exposure, the course is focused on the real maintenance knowledge engineers need to translate type theory into usable hands-on competence. It is suited to engineers progressing to a Dash 8 rating, operators upskilling existing staff, and maintenance organisations that need a cleaner, more efficient route to type capability. Where used as a second rating in the same category, the POC can satisfy the practical training requirement; where it is a first rating, it integrates cleanly into the broader OJT pathway.

Need OJT Books?

Our OJT record books are designed for individuals seeking their first type rating

Our Bombardier DHC-8-100/200/300 OJT book is designed to support engineers completing the on-the-job training component of their type pathway. It provides a clear structure for recording practical task exposure, supervisor sign-off and progression across the aircraft. Built for real maintenance environments, it helps engineers, supervisors and employers run a cleaner, more organised OJT process with less guesswork and better traceability.
