Type ratings.

Maybe a stupid question, but ..........
How do you get type rated on aircraft that are not easily available for hire?

Hey Lander, be sure to remind everyone where you live. The answer to your
question here in the US of A is that there is no such thing as type ratings for
small aircraft, but things may be very different in your world.

Good point Vaughn. I'm Down Under.
If nobody can answer, it's ok, I'll ask at the flying school in a few weeks
when I get back there. It's just when a question pops in your head, you just
gotta know now! lol!

Well sorta in the USA:
Type & category
Single Engine Land
Multi Engine Land
Single Engine Sea
Multi Engine Sea

you get the idea.

You need a log book endorsement for complex aircraft tailwheel- Unless
you're old -
Now in practice if you want to fly MY airplane, Rated or not I want to see
how you can fly it before I let you go.
you do need a type rating for a turbojet power aircraft

Yeah, I knew about that side of it, but that's a broader view of what I
mean.
I didn't think I could jump from a Skyfox into say a Drifter without some
training. (legally I'm talking). Now, not many places rent Drifters, so how
does someone get to be able to fly one, if nobody hires them?
Maybe I'm thinking there are more restrictions than there in fact are. I'll
wait and check it out at the school in a few weeks. Thanks guys.

Well, if no one rents them, then the only time you would need to get a
rating is if you bought one - right? Then, you have your own to get the
rating in?
(At least, that's what makes sense to me - not that I know anything about
the rules in Australia)

Well, that's what I figured, but then I guess the challenge is on to find an
instructor that has experience in that particular type of a/c.

We call that CLASS in the USA of the
CATEGORY Airplane.

182 is a TYPE, but we just don't require a type rating.
