Oceanic and NAT HLA training, online.

Yes. The Oceanic & NAT HLA course in our Ground School app at app.typerating.aero is operational ground training for oceanic and remote continental operations, oceanic RNP and the North Atlantic High Level Airspace, for any long-range aircraft: 22 lessons, about 4 hours, with interactive diagrams, a numbers blitz, a mock oral and a mock written check. It covers the 56 ground and procedural training subjects the FAA lists for LOAs B036 (oceanic RNP) and B039 (NAT HLA) and ends with a certificate of training.

Since FAA Notice N 8900.756 (30 December 2025), B036 is Oceanic RNP Operations: it is required to show oceanic RNP (RNP 10, RNP 4 or RNP 2) on the flight plan and to fly where oceanic RNP is required, and recommended for other Part 91 oceanic flights. It also covers airplanes with a single long-range navigation system, which used to need LOA B054. B039 authorizes Part 91 flights in the North Atlantic High Level Airspace, FL 285 to FL 420, and needs B036 as well unless the flights are limited to the Iceland–Greenland Corridor.

The 19 oceanic and remote continental subjects of AC 91-70, and the 20 RNP subjects and 17 procedural training tasks of AC 90-105, as the FAA lists them for LOAs B036 and B039. The lessons follow a crossing: rules and approvals; navigation performance; planning the crossing; to the oceanic boundary; the crossing; when things go wrong; polar, remote and the numbers.

Your certificate of training documents completion of the course and lists the subjects it covers. Whether it counts toward an LOA is decided by the FAA, which may review the course. The course is not FAA-approved.

It teaches every procedural training task, such as checking the navigation database, initializing the position, loading and verifying the route, direct-to, intercepts, discontinuities, offsets and the RNP value, on a generic FMS: what to do, when and why, and what to check. The button presses on your FMS come from your operator's procedures and the manufacturer's guide.

Yes. It covers the NAT HLA, the organized track system, the data link mandate and the PBCS tracks, the corridors, oceanic clearances and position reports, CPDLC, ADS-C, SATVOICE and HF, the strategic lateral offset procedure (SLOP), the oceanic contingency and weather deviation procedures, and communication failure.

No. It is not FAA-approved training or an authorization. It covers the ground and procedural training subjects the FAA lists for LOAs B036 and B039, and whether and how it counts toward an authorization is decided by the operator and the FAA, which may review the course first.

$199 for 12 months, one payment that does not renew, or $277 for Oceanic & NAT HLA and RVSM together, 12 months each, in one payment. International courses are sold for 12 months only. Full refund if you ask within 48 hours of purchase and have completed less than 10% of the paid lessons (for the bundle, of both courses' paid lessons counted together).

RVSM has its own course, for the subjects the FAA lists for LOA B046 (typerating.aero/rvsm-ground-training/). Both courses together are $277, 12 months each, in one payment.
