Type rating C206, C210 & GA8
Thank you for the information spread in this thread. I read it all, although the "type rating" concept for small airplane is not a familiar concept to me having a FAA and Transport Canada licences (over 12,500lbs).
How do you actually get one of these? Is it the equivalent of a "Check on Type" that some flight school / FBO will sometime do with an instrutor if no previous experience on aircraft, and is really up to the flight instructor to set the criterias? or there are some specific criterias? (5hrs flight, etc.)
Where can you get that? Does it have to be in South Africa, Namibia or Botswana with a licence already converted / validated?
If I did my flight training with a C172, does that mean I am automatically "type rated" on this aircraft?
