What does TRI/TRE stand for

[Kiwi]

Sorry for the stupid question but I have seen this written and have no idea what it stands for

Looking at it in context (always next to something requiring a type rating) I'm guessing it's "Type Rating ICAO/European Union". I see there is also a TUI.

TRI is Type Rating Instructor and TRE is Type Rating Examiner.

Stby one is correct. TUI are a German airline (just take over by Air Berlin I believe!)

Does anyone know how to become a TRI on an FAA license?

Does it reqiure an instructors rating?

How's it going, Kiwi? Hope you're well.

On an FAA license, if you hold an ATP, you can be a TRI/TRE by being sponsored by an employer with an FAA approved training program.

Generally, corporate departments (FAA Part 91) do not have training programs that would require in-house training pilots (TRI) and check pilots (TRE).

Charter companies (FAA Part 135), I believe would have a higher likelyhood of having in-house flight training (for line operating experience).

I've not heard of business aircraft operators having or needing TRI/TRE's. It's generally the airlines who have them.

Cheers!
