- Be a holder of any FCL Flight Crew Licence.
[The most common licenses are CPL (A) and ATPL (A)] - Have an MCC course completed.
– Some Authorities require a JIT course completed before the candidate starts the Type Rating Course.
– In case you are already type rated in any other type before, then the MCC is credited for a lifetime.
– JOT Course is a mandatory item in case this is your first Jet type Airplane.
-
Have a valid MEP/IR if this is the first Type Rating, you will endorse in your Flight Crew Licence.
– In case you are, or you had been already type rated in any other Multi Engine Aircraft type before, then the only restriction is the seven (7) years elapsed time for the validity of the IR (A) rating. If the seven (7) year time from the last IR (A) rating endorsement has not elapsed yet, you may continue with your EMB-135/145 Type Rating Training unrestricted.

According to EASA Standards you must accomplish one flight with a TRI in a real airplane where you will accomplish:
– Four (4) Take Offs and Landings, including at least one Full Stop Landing.
(For Multi Pilot Aircrafts (MPAs) where the student pilot has more than 500 hours of MPA experience in aeroplanes of similar size and performance,)
– Six (6) Take Offs and Landings, including at least one Full Stop Landing in all other cases.
NOTE: You may accomplish the above-mentioned requirement in the LVL D Simulator as a Zero Flight Total Time (ZFTT), if you meet the following pre-requisites:
