FAA SIC Type Rating

[volenvrac]

Hi,

Do you know what could be the price ratio between a full type rating and a SIC type rating under the FAA regulation?
As a reminder, FAA allow a "lighter" type rating for copilots (Part 61.55).
Thanks

Under FAR61.55, you have a great deal of latitude in the training involved. You need to "become familiar" with the aircraft AND do 3 take-off and landings.

A management person (such as the chief pilot) can sign it all off, no need to go to FSI.

Best of luck!

There was debate a while ago as to the validity of the SIC rating outside of the US. Does anyone know if this was cleared up?

The whole purpose of the SIC type rating is to make foreign CAAs happy. It's not required for domestic operations. So what was the debate?
