Who has the most type ratings?

[cezzna]

Who on the board has the most type ratings?

 

[viper548]

A few months ago I read an article about a FedEx pilot that has over 90 type ratings.

I have 2

 

[XJETDriver]

90??? that is very hard to believe.

 

[avbug]

Not really. We used to get folks coming through who were type rating collectors. They'd see types that they could only get one place, and come plonk down some dollars and get the type. They'd have no practical use for it, but they're collectors. It's not that uncommon.

 

[414Flyer]

Didnt that nutcase John Lear have a ton?

 

[minitour]

Martha King...she's just my type...I'd rate her a 10....

mmmmmmmmmm...scabs...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

:beer:

-mini

 

[viper548]

90??? that is very hard to believe.

That's what I thought but I looked him up on the faa website

 

[zugzug]

And he would be???

 

[zugzug]

And the answer is

Boeing

 

[OneBadLT123]

I have 2, does that mean I win?

Here is a 4 year old story on the guy in question. Probably not a member of this site though. Spending too much time and money getting typed. As hobbies go, it seems cool to me.

 

[flyboycpa]

Another name you might find interesting (and I would guess he's a FedEx pilot given his address) is Leiland Mozart Duke: (I especially get a kick out of the Dispatcher, Control Tower Operator, and Senior Parachute Rigger certificates!)

I cant believe that those guys have that many types. There is NO way I could do it. I would hate doing all that training. But heck, I love to play golf and I bet those guys LOVE to get types.

 

[flyboycpa]

"All Makes and Models"????? how??

This is the rap sheet on a family friend (the most veteran Reno Air Racer in history), Dave Morss. He's highly regarded as an experimental test pilot and I think that his LOA's (now type ratings) are more impressive than any of the previous FedEx guys' purchased type ratings. The more impressive fact is that he actually flies these machines that he's rated in. This is how he makes a living. Here's my big question.....how do you get the "All Makes and Models of Authorized Aircraft" limitation, and if read literally, is it really a "limitation"?? Or, does it mean, as an example, that authorization to fly NA-P51 (Mustang) allows him to fly all the different variations of that model (P-51A, P-51B, P-51D, F-51, TF-51, etc)? Anybody know for sure?

his website is www.davemorss.com for those looking for some neat stuff...

[pilothouston123]

i believe it's a tie. Just like a low pass record. You can only tie that never break it.
I understand some old timers have ratings that indicate: All airplanes all types. That is no longer issued but that would be the most.

 

[Flying Illini]

How many licences does it take to list all of those types?

 

[Lead Sled]

Here's my big question.....how do you get the "All Makes and Models of Authorized Aircraft" limitation, and if read literally, is it really a "limitation"?

About 15 years ago I attended an AOPA sponsered CFI refresher course. One of the instructors was a recently retired FAA senior Air Carrier inspector. This guy put a copy, on the overhead projector, of the ATP certificate that he was issued during the last few years that he was with the FAA. Under limitations it read "UNRESTRICTED", in other words this guy was legal in everything. He mentioned that it came about as a result of an incident where he tried to pull some airline pilot's certificate. The inspector had been in the cockpit of some airliner when the crew did something stupid. The pilot's attorney argued that the inspector wasn't qualified to critique the crew because he wasn't type-rated in the particular aircraft that they had been flying. Long story short, he ended up with an unrestricted ATP. It also was of limited duration, l believe that it was 24 months, like a CFI certificate. He mentioned that the FAA had issued these certificates only to a handfull of their senior inspectors.

I think the Globe Swift deserves a type rating...

Wow, pretty interesting. Slight thread hijack: I wonder if that "UNRESTRICTED" would stand up in court...I mean, he still isn't type rated in the aircraft...the FAA just put wording that suites their needs on his certificate. Not trying to start anything, just curious.

 

[some_dude]

The "ALL MAKES AND MODELS OF SINGLE AND MULTIENGINE PISTON POWERED AIRCRAFT" thing in some of these records is an unlimited warbird Letter Of Authorization (LOA). Basically, if you have three warbird LOAs they give you an unlimited LOA, or at least they used to.

Here is an article about getting an unlimited LOA: http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/182123-1.html

I would like to point out:

The original question posed on this thread:

Who on the board has the most type ratings?

I now draw your attention to the phrase "on the board." I believe that to indicate cezzna wants to know who among us, the users of Flightinfo, has the most type ratings. That's a different question than the one posed back in June. The answers to such a thread might go like this:

JOE: I have 2

BILL: I have 4

HARRY: I have 7

AVBUG: I have 9

TDTURBO: I don't need any, I know more than all the rest of you combined..



OK, so maybe not quite that way. OK, in that spirit, and knowing full well that I won't win the contest, I'll start.


I have 4.


Who has more?

:crying: I only have 4, too.

I have six. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, however.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

Id sell a few of mine for $50, if that was possible.

 

[avbug]

Id sell a few of mine for $50, if that was possible.

Is that the starting bid, or the "buy it now" price?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Dave is a pretty cool dude. I did my private checkride with him about 16 years ago. I learned a lot on that ride.

Yaaaaay! Chalk one up for the FAA, those smart, ethical, upstanding, aviation crime fighters! When you can't win by playing by the rules, change 'em! F***in' A$$holes.

One day I'll post the story of the inspector who almost got himself shot trying to ramp check a cop.
