Flight Training:
To receive the Type Rating, the applicant must be Multi-engine - instrument rated. First Officer training does not require the MEI. An applicant with Private, Commercial or ATP license is qualified to obtain the Type Rating.

The flight training course is normally completed with 7 hours of instruction. Some take longer, others take less time. We do not guarantee the amount of time that a student will take to complete the flight training. Our responsibility is to make sure that the applicant learns to fly the DC-3 and not just obtain a 'paper' type rating.

Check Ride:
The check ride is approximately 2-2.5 hours. The requirements are the same as for any other Type Rating or ATP check ride. The procedures are set forth in the FAA publication FAA-S-8081-5C Practical Test Standards. The examiner will either be an FAA examiner or a DPE. The examiner fee is paid by the applicant. The fee is normally $500 plus expenses (travel, overnight lodging and food which can cost approximately $250-350).
