How many aircraft types are you allowed to fly on SEP wise?

Generally its 3 a/c types, providing they are on the same AOC, plus the variants of the same types. A319/20/21 are usually classed as one type, as would 737-300/400/500. So in theory, could fly on the 737-300/400/500, A319/20/21 and the 757-200/300. Although, that would be a little harsh if you had all those a/c to operate on.

In the United States, most if not all airlines have crew trained to operate on all types in the fleet.
At Qantas it is
Short Haul: 737, 767, A330
Long Haul: 747, 767, A330
A380 has it's own pool of crew however LHR base and SOME Australian (Post QF32) based crew are endorsed on the A380 and 747

I think that in the UK if you want/need more than 3 licences then you have to increase the frequency of your SEP to 6 monthly but for 3 licences its annual checks. 'Families' of aircraft like small airbuses count as one because they are largely the same inside. Big boeings are each one separate because there is no consistency of doors, equipment etc.
