GIV, GV Type Ratings

Re: I don't get it

So are you saying that he should buy a type? How did you get hired without one?

Uhhhh, no.

I dunno how you arrived at that conclusion thru my post though.

You do not need a type to act as SIC only the PIC needs a type rating, although in my company you are somewhat limited by our own SOP. During this time the company only lets you fly with training captains and restricts you to domestic only trips.

Some countries require both pilots PIC typed, namely Brazil and now the Europeans and Asians are beginning to enforce that requirement as well. I imagine before long it will be a requirement everywhere overseas.

But even then you still get a good bit of stick time. I showed up at FSI with about 150 hrs in the GIV and company ground school under my belt.

In both of my corporate flying jobs, I did not have a type rating in any of the planes I was hired to fly. These companies paid for my type-ratings right after I was hired.

Most "Good" corporate flight departments are looking to hire the right "person", not the best experience. As long as you meet the overall experience requirements (total time, pic time and turbine time), they know they can train you to fly their equipment.

Good Luck,
