Type Rating

A Type Rating is a certification that allows a pilot to operate a specific type of aircraft. Each aircraft model, especially those with different handling characteristics or systems, requires its own extensive training and qualification. Pilots must undergo both theoretical instruction and practical flight training on that specific aircraft to ensure they understand its systems, controls, and emergency procedures. Successfully completing this training enables pilots to prove their competency in flying that particular type of plane safely and effectively, much like a driver's license for a specific vehicle.
