8:51 isn’t A330 and A340 sharing the same type rating? The only difference is number of engines, the A350 have a completely different equipment. Some aircraft from some series or family naturally have a same type rating but they are a note in cockpit reminds the pilot which aircraft is flying like airbus A321, Boeing 737-900/max9 and 757-300 have stretch version, most likely it may make a tail strike
Actually the number of engines is the exact reason the A330 and A340 doesn't share a type rating. The A330 and A350 although look a bit different, they are common enough to have a common type rating. PS common type rating doesn't mean that if you have an A330 rating, you automatically get an A350 rating. Its more of you will have to do a differences course to be certified for both.
The 737 has two different type ratings in Europe. The -100/-200 are a different type rating to the the rest. The entry in my EASA ATPL read 737-300 to 900, the MAX was not on the market back then. Airbus did focus on so called mixed fleet flying before the introduction of the A350, which allows for operation on two different Airbus types with training credits so only one set of simulator events has to be done. Training between types is shortened and called, as mentioned in the video, CCQ. However it is not only available between A340 and A330, but between pretty much all Airbus types (bar the A220). Very common is MFF between A320 and A330, as well as between A330 and A340. But, in theory at least, it is also a available between A350/A330 and A380 as well as between A340 and A380, as far as i know no airline uses that, but CCQ between those types is used routinely. Training from an A320 to an A330 or vice versa just takes three simulator sessions. Common type ratings were introduced by Boeing starting with the 757/767 common type rating, Airbus only used it with the 330/A350 so far, allowing MFF between A320/A330/A350 which for example Finnair used to do.
As a United FA, I hold the following type rating A320, B737, B757, B767, B777, B787. Not how the B57 and B67 are separate type ratings for FA vs pilots. It’s because the cabin and the door operations are completely different on the 57 and 67, although the flight decks are similar
Cool to see MEA getting some screen time here. 🇱🇧👍 On the subject of type ratings, MEA has a fleet composed entirely of a320s and a330s, MEA pilots have special permission to be type rated on both. This give the airline greater flexibility in operations and scheduling.
I've noticed my airline allows pilots to have only one type rating but requires the flight attendants and maintenance techs to be rated for all types in the fleet
6:41 There are some people especially Airbus fans thinks the A220 and A320 are the same from scratch just the width and seating arrangement is different. Unaware it’s a former bombardier aircraft.
Excellent video and for A330/A350 common type rating these are useful for airlines that have both US DL Hong Kong Cathay Pacific Philippines PR. For Cabin Crew some are B777 A350 rated or A330 A350 B777-300/er
You forgot the maintenance team. We also need type ratings
A 787 is almost the same as a 777 I heard
@@pg41226 correct
And cabin crew
@@arianafoster2929 cabin crew can have more than 2 ratings anyway, like maintenance crew

I wasn't aware of cabin crew type rating before this but I understand why now.
7:35 - I am not proposing the type ratings are not shared... but isn't the 757 a narrow body and the 767 a wide?
Not heard of type rating before, thanks for the info. Makes perfect sense, especially when it comes down to safety.

i know someone who has been typerated on both boeing and airbus . the person in question is Captain Joe

I didn't know the 787 and the 777 had the same type rating in europe
My instructor/boss at work has a King air type rating. He’s got 30 something hours in a king air 200. He was training in a TBM yesterday.
The 777 & 787 shared TR was a surprise
Do you know if British airways 777 and 787 share a type rating?
The unsung hero the maintenance team

Just got my dc9 done today!
I've only heard of cockpit commonality before
Interesting🤔👍
Yes
You forgot the 318 :)
757 not a widebody
3rd
u were actually second but good job!
🥈 🥉 😊
ok
Just like iOS and Android.
