The FO had a valid Australian Air Transport, Commercial and Private Pilot Licence, however he was not type rated on the aircraft (Convair 340/440).
So, what's your working theory here? That the South African Civil Aviation Authority is clueless when it comes to determining which type ratings a pilot holds?
