The pilot in command is required to hold a type rating in which aircraft?
A
Aircraft operated under an authorization issued by the Administrator.
B
Aircraft having a gross weight of more than 12,500 pounds.✓ Correct Answer
C
Aircraft involved in ferry flights, training flights, or test flights.
Explanation
14 CFR 61.31(a) requires a type rating to act as PIC of a large aircraft, defined in 14 CFR 1.1 as one of more than 12,500 pounds maximum certificated takeoff weight, of any turbojet-powered airplane, and of other aircraft the Administrator specifies. Ferry, training or test flights do not by themselves require a type rating.
