Robert Briggs' 100 type ratings
The Feb 2005 issue of AOPA Flight Training has an article about a FedEx
pilot named Robert Briggs who just got his 100th type rating (including experimental authorizations). For those curious about what those 100 planes are, pasted below is the information from the FAA airmen inquiry site (if you want to look it up yourself, the full name is Robert Blaine Briggs). ------------------------------------------------------------------ AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE SEA AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE SEA ROTORCRAFT HELICOPTER AND GYROPLANE COMMERCIAL PRIVILEGES GLIDER LIGHTER-THAN-AIR FREE BALLOON LIGHTER-THAN-AIR AIRSHIP Type Ratings A/A-109 A/A-310 A/A-320 A/AS-350 A/AS-355 A/ATR-42 A/ATR-72 A/B-377 A/B-727 A/B-737 A/B-747 A/B-757 A/B-767 A/BA-3100 A/BE-300 A/BE-400 A/BE-1900 A/BE-2000 A/BH-47 A/BH-204 A/BH-205 A/BH-206 A/BO-105 A/BU-2000 A/BV-44 A/BY-2 A/BY-305 A/CA-212 A/CE-500 A/CE-525 A/CE-525S A/CE-560XL A/CE-650 A/CL-65 A/CL-600 A/CV-240 A/CV-340 A/CV-440 A/CV-P4Y A/CV-PBY5 A/CW-46 A/DA-10 A/DA-20 A/DA-50 A/DC-3 A/DC-3S A/DC-3TP A/DC-4 A/DC-6 A/DC-7 A/DC-8 A/DC-9 A/DC-10 A/DC-B26 A/DO-228 A/EMB-110 A/EMB-120 A/EMB-145 A/EN-28 A/FA-1100 A/FA-119C A/FA-82 A/G-100 A/G-111 A/G-1159 A/G-IV A/HH-12 A/HS-125 A/HU-269 A/HU-369 A/IA-1125 A/IA-JET A/L-18 A/L-382 A/L-1049 A/L-P2V A/LR-45 A/LR-60 A/LR-JET A/M-202 A/M-404 A/MD-11 A/MD-500N A/MS-760 A/MU-300 A/N-265 A/N-B25 A/R-22 A/R-44 A/SA-227 A/SA-341 A/SD-3 A/SK-58 A/SK-61 Limits BH-47 BH-204 BV-44 BY-2 BY-305 CV-PBY-5 EN-28 HH-12 HU-269 R-22 SK-58 (VFR ONLY).

Ray,
Bob is a very interesting and determined guy. I grew up in the same neighborhood (he was older, I hung out with his younger brother) but then we flew together when I was in college and he was living back in Des Moines for a period of time. Very smooth, accurate pilot when I knew him. Driven to accomplish things. As I recall, he also did a successful charity fundraiser where he landed at all of the airports in Iowa in a given period of time. Lot of fun to be around. There are some interesting stories regarding some of the airplanes he's flown and the checkrides he's taken. All the best, Rick |
