These lists provide a consolidated overview of established type rating designations and associated licence endorsements.

The type rating and licence endorsement lists do not include information for all aircraft. In particular, aircraft may not be included if they are part of a class rating single-engine piston (SEP) (land/sea), multi-engine piston (MEP) (land/sea), touring motor glider (TMG), or not subject to an OSD evaluation in accordance with Part-21.

The lists also indicate whether aircraft:

  • are defined as complex aircraft in accordance with the UK Basic Regulation and if they are classified as (single-pilot) high-performance aircraft (HPA) in accordance with Part-FCL.

  • have been classified as variants.
    Flight crew type rating and variant designations are established by the UK through the OSD flight crew evaluation process and are only valid for the evaluated aircraft make and model.
