Going to be hard to find anyone with a "MD-80" type rating.

Hi!

Actually, there are TONS of guys with "MD-80" type ratings, but they all have ICAO licenses. Pretty screwed up situation, if you ask me!

I would assume that he meant that the type rating is DC-9. MD-80 is just a series of the DC-9 type. Just a guess. Could be wrong.

Yes, I was being cynical. The really strange thing is the the FAA now lists the DC-9 type under Boeing.

Cliff, I'd like to see a pilot license issued by ICAO.

Hi!

The "DC-9" type is DC-9->B-717, all inclusive...in the US.

In most ICAO nations (non-US, and not sure about JAA, Australia or Canada), they break the DC-9 into four separate type ratings:
DC-9 (DC-9-1x, DC-9-21, DC-9-3x, DC-9-40, DC-9-50)
MD-80 (MD-8x)
MD-90
B-717
Why? I don't know.

oh, and an ICAO license is about 12+ pages long, with a photo. It is kind of like a passport-type arrangement.
There's the license, type rating(s), medical, radio and English Proficiency, and instrument rating. They all expire at various times, and if you do ANYTHING (medical, inst check, etc.), you need to take your new documentation in to the CAA HQ, do a bunch of paperwork, pay money, and they will re-issue you your license. A TOTAL pain in the but!!!

You'll find that ICAO doesn't issue licenses, the local CAA/DGCA/ATO/FAA issues the license in accordance with ICAO standards. The US FAA certificate is an ICAO license (unless you didn't have the PIC time for the ATP and then your certificate will state "Holder does not meet the PIC requirements of ICAO."

What the individual state does to make you get their license and the form it takes are up to them as long as it meets the ICAO basics. Ever wonder why the FAA certificate has all those roman numerals on it? I. is going to be the issuing authority, IV. is going to be your name, etc. Because that's the ICAO format for a license. If it takes a credit card piece of plastic or twenty pages in a passport style book, it's still ICAO.
