SIC type rating
 

Does a first officer in a brasilia get an SIC type on his certificate and if so, what does it say on it?

Yes. It says, "This type rating is completely worthless and is just a way for the government to get a few bucks from you."

It doesn't get you much.

yep thats about it. its only there because of a stupid ICAO rule a few years back, just like the fluent in english on your licensce.

But it looks cool. And that's what counts, right? :D

BTW, it's a Brasilia ;)

yep the way things are going with the industry, you could have 20 SIC types and not one PIC. Hey it still fills up the back, you can show it to all your riddle buddies

For the Metro mine stated " SA-227 SIC PRIVILEGES ONLY"...so insert Brasilia and walla!

to actually answer your question it would say something like "EMB-120 SIC PRIVILEGES ONLY" and then maybe circle to land VMC only. The last part is determined by the FAA, if they determine you plane can safely circle to land. also don't forget not all airlines have to give you and SIC type....even though its worth nothing. The only time they have to is if the airline has flights outside the country

It's worth it's weight in gold, should you go fly overseas where it actually matters, no matter what the type.

True, it's only use is overseas. Kind of silly, since the standards for an SIC type are simply completion of 121 sim training...there is nothing special or extra required. Those of us who were already FO's in 2004 got the type by virtue of signing an 8710.

We didnt get SIC Type for the EMB 120 at Skywest when I went thru training in April.
