ATP required for type rating

[B190Captain]

As for the type rating requirement, I meant to say to serve as PIC in a turbojet requires a type.


On all the other stuff, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info Tony.


Strange...

As for the B-747 type, he went through the Qantas B-747 training program but I don't know if he got the full package or if they just let him play in the sim for a few hours. Then to get the type, he would have to have an Australian pilot's license. A type on that wouldn't show up on the FAA registery. And to be named an honorary captain is as useful as getting an honorary doctorate degree for speaking at some college's graduation.

Have a bet with a case of beer on the line.....

If you have a commercial liscence and go for a type rating in a bandit for a cargo company do you need your atp?

Basically can you get a type without an atp? If it is possible are there any restrictions on the operation?

Thanks.

No you don't need an ATP to get a Type, but.. To fly as PIC on a turbine powerd aircraft that requires two pilots on a 135 charter you do have to have the ATP. Cago, or Pass. it doesn't matter. The FAA is reviewing the REG because it contradicts another reg. But for now they are making it stick.
