Required license for different aircraft
Hello everyone.
I apologise if this is in the wrong forum. This is my first post here and there are so many sub-forums that it's easy to get confused. I think this is the most appropriate place to post this.
I am a PPL student and am slowly working my way through it (full time university student means not a whole lot of money! One lesson every two weeks approx). I just wanted some information regarding the validity of the PPL and further training required to fly certain other aircraft. Please note that I am obviously not intending to fly all of these aircraft - but I would eventually like to move on to maybe one of them (to achieve personal ambitions) and be able to fly it.
So essentially I would like to know what requirements (besides the PPL) would a person need to legally own and fly one of these;
1. Hurricane/Spitfire/P-51 etc. The powerful/relatively heavy single prop crowd.
2. Something like the Viperjet - turbofan engine (2950lbf dry thrust) - ridiculously fast.
I have tried to research it online but given my low experience I can't really put together the information. I assume that they are beyond your basic type ratings? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks, J.
Edit: I'm not naive enough to be expecting to own or fly a spitfire etc, I'm just using that kind of aircraft as examples.
