DC-3 TYPE RATING

The DC-3 initial pilot in command type rating will normally require 7-10
hours of flight time spread over 5-7 days depending upon your experience
and the weather. Tailwheel time is a must prior to beginning DC-3 training.
If you do not have a tailwheel endorsement you should plan on getting that
prior to starting DC-3 training. It is not mandatory but certainly helpful. You
must also be the holder of an Airline Transport Pilot Rating or meet the
qualifications to obtain this rating on your checkride. You must have a multiengine
rating.

Ground school will be accomplished daily with a powerpoint presentation.
You will be given study material prior to your arrival so you can be familiar
with the airplane.
