This Advisory Circular (AC) describes an acceptable means of compliance with flight time experience and ground training requirements under Civil Aviation Rule Part 61 for the issue of an Aircraft Type Rating.
This AC relates specifically to Civil Aviation Rule Part 61 Subpart B – Aircraft Type Ratings.
Revision 14 makes changes to the Basic Turbine Knowledge (BTK) syllabi for pilots. We have separated the BTK pilot syllabus into two separate syllabi for Aeroplane and Helicopter respectively. The existing syllabus for Subject 64 has been amended to focus on Aeroplane and a completely new syllabus for Helicopter Subject 65 has been produced. We have also updated information on applying online and made minor corrections.
Note: If candidates already hold the BTK credit obtained before this syllabus change, it is still valid for either the Aeroplane or Helicopter turbine type rating issue, as it does not expire.
