This was me. Went through Flight Safety in ATL...they gave us the checkride at Flight Safety and added the ATP portion so we got the ATP and Type at the sim training.

No time limit. I added the S-70 type 2 years out of the cockpit. I don't think the E-2 has an equivalent.

Here's a Doc I pulled from FAA.gov listing the "PILOT CERTIFICATE AIRCRAFT TYPE DESIGNATIONS"

I noticed the T 47 is equal to a CE 500. That could be a useful type rating! Has anyone been able to get it added to their license?

Same here, hadn't flown a hawk in about 3 years when I got the type. Some FSDO require 10 hrs PIC, or 10 PIC within 12 months, but ours (Albany) does not.

I believe any mil equivalency will be only to commercial level - you have to take an actual checkride to get typed with ATP privileges. Others may know better.

Correct on not needing a checkride for the L-300 (just checkride proof and PIC time) to add the type and there's ongoing discussion here whether it will be ATP or commercial privileges--not sure it really matters in my case so either way is fine with me.

Thanks for the english endorsement link earlier in the thread. I read the info and my certificate is dated 2007 so it has never been updated with this which is apparently required for ICAO intl ops as of the 2008 timeframe. Will get it done by mail and get the type added next time I do my CFI at the next FSDO I visit after my final military move. Can't wait to run another gauntlet to find the building and crack the code to get in the front door.

Another question--how painful is it to add SEL privileges to my CFI. I just have MEL so imagine I need to pass a checkride in SE plane after getting some dual instruction and solo time practicing the standards...then find a designated examiner? My sons want to learn to fly and I'd like to be able to do some of it.

Edit--FAA checkride was for initial ATP/type rating in a learjet--L-300 type rating was earned years later.

The CFI SEL add on will renew your CFI for an additional two years. It requires proficiency in teaching all private and commercial maneuvers. If you aren't current flying a small general aviation aircraft then you will probably need five to ten hours of dual preparing for the checkride more or less. Do you also have instrument instructor?

gr8vu

Yes I have my CFII and fly GA off and on so would definitely need a refresher and some instruction since all my instructing has been limited to military mobility aircraft.

hypoxia

Yeah, general aviation is a big difference overall! You are not going to do your kids any favors by taking a "short cut" CFI SEL add on course. With that said, you will probably learn more teaching them then they will!

Not true.

Type ratings get added to whatever level certificate you have, even Private (John Travolta had a P/B-707 rating).

When you get your ATP, all type ratings will transfer to your ATP for the same category & class airplane. Type ratings have the same requirements no matter what certificate you hold.
