Don't worry if we accidentally called an endorsement a rating or vise versa, it should be correct in the description and time stamps. Hope you guys enjoy this one. I can't believe there are so many!
Couple you missed. 1. Certified Ground School instructor. The FAA offers three types of ground instructor certifications. You can get these without being an CFI (also does not require a medical to teach). 2. Multiple engine endorsement, as in a plane with 3 or more engines. Sometimes included in a type rating.
I would love to add single engine seaplane to my private pilot license someday. That J-3 Cub on floats looks like a blast. Good stuff Carl. 👍👍👍 Hope to fly with you again real soon.
Isn't there a helicopter instructor rating as well? Helicopter Low-level, helicopter instrument, helicopter NVFR endorsement, multi-engine helicopter, and a few other similar ratings. There is also most definitely a Commercial Astronaut rating for those who REALLY want to Fly High.
Excellent video. I should have given you my endorsement guide I created. Then you could have displayed the reg and endorsement number. Great video Carl.
I wanna be qualified enough to fly Boeings and Airbusses. So the right path would be: discovery flight->ground school->private pilot license->instrument rating->commercial pilot license->multi engine license? Is that correct?
There is high altitude for over 25K feet, complex, high performance, a 1500 Hour ATP is usually requried, and of course a type rating. It'll take a few years to achieve.
You can already do that with a Private Pilot Certificate. Sport pilot is no go at night. I believe you can with a recreational certificate with some additional training but I’m not at my computer to double check that one.
Very good info. A couple of questions if you don't mind. Can you obtain a PPC for daytime use only? Would a IFR rating allow you to fly through and above the clouds (daytime only)? I only want to fly in the daytime. I'm night blind without my glasses and am developing cataracts. I'm really thinking a Light Sport Certificate is the best for me. But "Useful Load" is the biggest drawback. I may be limited to Flight Design or Pipistrelle. I currently weigh in at 330 lbs and at 6' 3". I get the three Tall, Fat and Old (62). Oh you most likely already got this comment "Gyro Endorsement"
Honestly, I believe that would tie into your medical and carryover to your certificate after your check ride. It would likely be limitation on your license stating flight at night not authorized, or something similar. I could be wrong though. I would just pull it up on Google.
I may have missed the answer in the video, but do endorsements transfer from private to commercial? If i have a private pilot certificate with multi engine, high performance, and high altitude if i upgrade to a commercial license will those carry over? Or will i need to retake the training again? Does this apply to ratings as well? like for an istrument rating?
A great big thank you for this video.. here is is THANK YOU. I have been a Rec pilot for over 15 years. I bought a Cherokee 140 2 years ago so that my son could get his ticket. Along the way I got cross country, controlled field, constant speed prop, and the biggy Self Med. My son is getting close to his private and is looking for a light sport for fun flying. What are the requirements to become a light sport instructor? Agin thank you for this video.
Glad you liked the video! I learned something new today. There is a Sport Pilot Instructor certificate. =) I cant find much on it from the FAA, but theis website gives a great breakdown of it - sportpilottraining.sportaviationcenter.com/sport-pilot-cfis-applicant/sport-cfis-privileges/#:~:text=New%20Sport%20Pilot%20Certified%20Flight,least%20a%20Sport%20Pilot%20certificate.&text=Obtain%20and%20log%20training%20within,on%20FAA%208710%2D11%20form.
Amazing video! ✈️ So if you want to make money as a pilot (for smaller aircraft) you need to get your PPL, then your Multi engine rating and then the CPL? After that if you’re wanna work for an airline you do the ATPLs and etc. Please correct me if I’m wrong! Thank you 🙏🏻
To make money you need a Commercial Pilot License. The normal progression is PPL>Instrument>Commercial. Then work to build hours being a CFI or odd jobs that don't require an ATP. If you want to fly planes that have multi engine, you need the MEL. Most planes beyond GA trainers need high performance and complex ratings too.
Nope. As long as it has a prop and is under 12,500 LBS there is no type rating required. Just like any aircraft, there will be some training involved to become proficient in the aircraft and it's systems. Turbine or jet aircraft require a type rating in order to fly, regardless of weight.
If I had a power parachute trike or quad. Registered and has tail number, if I got a pilot, sport or commercial certified not sure which one I would need, could I get paid for scenic business? I would think you dont have to worry about air traffic do to bot going up as high and certain airspace? I'm just learning about this and confused about this because it's a power parachute 2 seater and I know you need to be tandem certified so...is this as far as you can go with this aircraft? I know you cant fly at night and you only going up several hundred feet.
No such thing. And there shouldn’t be an aerobatic rating. It requires years of mentorship and practice to be completely competent doing acro. (Edit) there is no endorsement for it in the USA only. Not sure about other countries, but what I said before still applies to being a safe aerobatic pilot.
@@hobie1613, @Jack Odinsen Well, aerobatic (A) is a rating under EASA. Seen it on one of my instructor's ATPL and already took advantage of it to experience some maneuvers and G's myself ;-)
Hate the lists people throw together with a computer voice and none of their own visuals. Glad you enjoyed it though! I was so mad when I found out I didn't have any of my own stuff on floats, but I know a guy at AvWeb that hooked me up fast. =)
Depends on which one. Private, commercial, and airline transport you need a biannual every 2 years (unless you get another rating/license in that time). Instrument rating you need 6 approaches, holding, tracking a nav aid every 6 months. Any of the instructor licenses require you to renew them every 2 years otherwise you lose them (unlike the private/commercial/atp which just require the biannual but you don’t lose them if you don’t do it, just can’t use the license until it’s current). There’s more caveats to each but this comments already long enough
Sport pilot certificate is a step down from the PPL. It has a lot of limitations, but it's upside is you don't need a medical certificate. Aerobatic rating is not a thing in the US I believe.
It is fine to discuss stuff at the edge of your envelope, but don't pretend to be an expert when you are really just presenting a poorly researched highschool level essay. I could smell fish fom the first sentance about the recreational certificate.
It's a real certificate actually. Here is a comparison between them. From the FAA. It's very limiting though. www.faa.gov/faq/what-are-differences-types-pilot-licenses-certificates#:~:text=A%20recreational%20pilot%20certificate%20limits,controlled%20airports%2C%20and%20other%20limitations.
@@flywiththeguys Exactly my point, you are just blindly regurgitating a list with no understanding. Recreational is still on the books for those few existing in the wild, but it is otherwise dead in every practical way, No honest CFI offers training for it and very few existing certs are still active. The Sport certificate was the FAA indirectly admitting they got it all wrong with recreational. Of 490,000 active pilots there are 71 recreational which is 1/3 of what is was 10 years ago. There are 7100 active sport certificates and 170,000 active private.
Typically when you train you get your single engine rating, unless you're doing gliders. You would need to get a Multi Engine add on to do anything with more than one engine.
@@flywiththeguys wow. If only it was that easy in the states. I’m trying to decide if I should just get my Private pilots certificate or if I should take a loan and go full time to get my ATP
most multi engine airplanes are complex (they almost always have constant speed props and retractable landing gears) so your instructor will give you a complex endorsement before you can act as PIC (before your checkride), unless you are a student pilot going for your private in a multi- engine aircraft in which case your instructor would endorse you to act as PIC so you could get your solo hours required for obtaining your private pilots cert. As for the high performance and high altitude, it would just depend on which aircraft you were flying. I flew a piper seminole for my commercial- multi add-on which isn't capable of reaching the flight levels, and each engine only has 180hp so its just shy of what is considered high performance.
Well if you consider that video amazing.... I do. 😂 but I don’t think all the stuff I make is amazing. My favorite is this one though - ruclips.net/video/tRif-a46am4/видео.html
@@flywiththeguys hahahaha yeah would be scary because there so small but I would do it if I had one it would take encouragement hahaha I dont no were to get them lol
Are you sure? I couldn't find it being called a permit. Just referred to as a rating by the FAA when adding on to a power certificate. I'm always happy to learn, do you have a reference I could check?
Don't worry if we accidentally called an endorsement a rating or vise versa, it should be correct in the description and time stamps. Hope you guys enjoy this one. I can't believe there are so many!
A remote pilot should be removed because that's not true Flying but mountain flying is!
HAHA! I find it odd that you can get that one without any actual drone flying time. Kind of scary.
Lighter than air, balloon. Blimp.
This one didn't even cross my mind! Nice add.
Lighter-than-air category, like hot air balloons and dirigibles.
Nice. Didn't think of that one.
Don't forget the ground instructor certificate! Basic, Advanced, and Instrument.
All good certificates if you're going in that direction!

Ballon ?
I believe that's a Separate certificate. Not really an add on.
Mountain rating
There is a rating for that in other parts of the world! In the US I believe its a training that you can do, but it's not required.
Aerobatic?
I think this is just training. No endorsement or rating. At least in the US.

Not sure on all that. Sounds like something the FAA would regulate away though.
Wouldn't those be considered ultralights, and not needing a pilot's certificate?
Missed the aerobatic rating. Good luck on the 11th. I think you have something to settle ;-)

Nice suggestion. 👍
What is required to keep all of these ratings/endorsements current?
Depends on which one. Private, commercial, and airline transport you need a biannual every 2 years (unless you get another rating/license in that time).

Evan answered that fairly well. Some have to be kept up on, others require reoccurring training, some are just questioned at the Biannual training.
@@flywiththeguys Thanks, I know it keeps us all safe but wow there's a lot of time commitment to keep this hobby alive.

NVFR and Aerobatics. Also would like to add, that list is probably US only. In Germany e.g. we don't have quite so many, I think.
Funny thing, the US doesn't have an Aerobatics rating or endorsement. Kind of blew my mind. And yes, these are US. =)
The reason why there aren’t enough airline pilots is because they expect you to just have $100,000 lying around to get a license.
One of them. It's much easier in other countries. A friend of mine just started flying the airbus with less than 250 hours... Significantly less debt.

Could you get your multi engine rating at the same time as your complex, high-performance rating, and pressurization rating?
