Anyone heard anything about this? If so, any information would be great.

Thanks

When you go through training, you will come out with a type rating, sic privledges only. It doesn't really mean anything, but it's a requirement for flying in Canada.

Here is an example of how it shows up in the FAA airman database.

ICAO requires it.

I think all the U.S.121 carriers are getting on board with the ICAO requirements now. I know that ABX and NW have been issuing DC9 SIC ratings to 9FOs this year, for example. I assume the FO's who get typed for international/IRO flying get PIC types, though?

so would you say it only applies to 121,135, or any company that requires it, or is an insurance requirement. The reason I'm asking is becuase there might be a chance for me to do some (91) trips in a LR-35A & Citation. I'm trying to figure out if I need this SIC type rating for those trips.

It is REQUIRED in Europe. Many people seem to think you can go do 3 t&gs and go to the Fsdo and get it but read the fars, and follow them . Ground school, airwork and full stops are required as I remember it. Then go to the FSDO and you can get a SIC Type rating. Not hard to do, but you can hang your self with it. Keep it legal. An insurance claim amd your career may hang on it. It is Required for 91/135/121
