About Us

Say the words "type rating" to someone outside aviation and there's a fair chance they'll hear "typewriting." It's an easy mistake. The words sound alike, and outside a cockpit, there's rarely a reason to know better.

A type rating has nothing to do with typing. It's the specific qualification that certifies a pilot to fly one particular aircraft, such as an Airbus A320, a Boeing 737, or an ATR 72. It sits at one of the most expensive, consequential, and high-value points in a professional pilot's career.

type rating[noun]

1. A specific qualification that certifies a pilot to fly one particular aircraft type.

2. The most consequential checkpoint in a professional pilot's career, where training meets command.

3. This is a modern aviation marvel, not a mechanical word processor of yesteryear.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
