  • What is Type rating (TR)?
    Type rating is a certification issued by the country’s regulatory body (such as DGCA in India) that certifies that a pilot is fit to fly certain types of aircrafts. The first step to becoming a pilot is undoubtedly training and obtaining a licence followed by accumulating flying hours. This gets you to a point where you can fly single engine aircraft below a certain weight without obtaining type rating. However, in order to fly on a professional basis, a type rating is necessary. In the States the FAA stipulates that a pilot who wishes to fly across international air space must have a type rating licence, which requires additional training and endorsement on license. The main pilot in command must have a type rating and the co-pilot too needs to have a SIC type rating. Getting the main pilot in command type rating is more difficult than obtaining a SIC type rating for the co-pilot. The usual route is for a pilot to go in for SIC, get experience and then apply for PIC. Type ratings may also be required for instrumentation. Type ratings may be aircraft specific but commercial aircraft pilots may undergo additional training to be type rated for most aircrafts such as the Boeing and Airbus family of aircrafts. This may involve about 75 hours of training on simulators Type ratings must comply with requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Type rating is a must when one plans to fly aircrafts that weigh in excess of 5600 kgs mean take-off weight and for turbojet powered aircrafts and for multi engine jet aircraft.
