Hi everyone
Just a quick question regarding Air Law.
While doing a mock exam on PPLCruiser,a question came up regarding Class Ratings and Type Ratings.I selected the answer which I assumed is right,but I was indeed wrong.I have searched the net quite abit now and have a vague image of what the differences are.
As far as I am aware,a class rating,for example,is:A Single Engine A/C or Multi engine A/C (only pistons)...eg;C172,Baron 58
Of course you get a Single Engine class rating and a Multi Engine Class rating.
And a Type Rating is for a SPECIFIC A/C:King Air,Piper Malibu,Bell 412 etc..
So lets say John had a single class rating,he could fly ANY single piston Aircraft.
Same goes if Mike had a Multi engine class rating,he could fly ANY twin piston aircraft.
And if David had a type rating for the King Air 200,he is entitled to handle any King Air series.IE:C90,200,350
Quite a simple question but I would hate to have to get confused while writing my exam and throw away a mark.
Thanks everyone
