Na verdade, não importa se você é um piloto privado ou um ATP, os requisitos para uma qualificação de tipo estão no , que se aplicam independentemente do tipo de aeronave.
No PTS, diz:
Practical Test Book Description
This practical test book contains the Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards—Airplane. The Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards—Airplane includes Areas of Operation and Tasks for the initial issuance of an airline transport pilot certificate and for the addition of category, class, and aircraft type ratings to an airline transport pilot certificate. These Areas of Operation and Tasks also apply for the issuance of an airplane type rating to a private or commercial pilot certificate.
Você basicamente cobre tudo o que é necessário para o ATP. As diferenças entre os diferentes aviões surgem durante o teste prático, tal como acontece com qualquer outro checkride. O examinador (que será digitado no avião) pergunta sobre as coisas que são específicas para cada avião, mas isso não é muito diferente do que ele fazer perguntas específicas para um Cessna ou um Piper durante seu check-piloto privado.
O PTS especifica as Áreas de Operação gerais em vez de dizer exatamente o que precisa ser testado para cada tipo de aeronave.
Aqui estão para uma classificação de tipo:
