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!

Namaste From India...

thanks for the reply, the company wants me to "officially" get an instructor's rating on the EASy. I'm already doing it unoficially but the CO's are pretty good. they have number 3 900 on order - as well as 4 other types - total 10 aircraft.

The Indian system is a headache. they don't accept the FSA or CAE ratings directly for commmands. crews need 100 on type plus check rides etc.

We are settling in here and are being looked after well. The country is definately third world but we live much better than back home. lots of money in the bank at the end of each month. I will never complain about bad trafic at home ever again...

Not much chance of a return to Indianapolis though
