Type Rating

Type Rating Overview

Here’s an even more comprehensive and detailed explanation about type rating training at Trivandrum Flying Club, including benefits, specific modules, and post-training career opportunities:

A type rating is an essential certification for pilots to operate a specific aircraft model or family. It ensures pilots are proficient in the aircraft’s unique systems, performance characteristics, and emergency procedures. This is a regulatory requirement under aviation authorities such as the FAA, EASA, and DGCA.
