A Class Rating is an additional qualification that allows pilots to fly specific types of aircraft or perform particular types of operations. This rating is added to an existing license to specify what class of aircraft the pilot is certified to operate.
The class rating requires 5 hours of flying experience in the specific class of aircraft for which the rating is being sought. The course is designed to familiarize pilots with the nuances of flying a particular aircraft type. The training covers areas like handling characteristics, emergency procedures, and system operations specific to the aircraft class.
