Type Rating Training Log

Training in aircraft requiring a type rating (turbojets, aircraft over 12,500 lb), working through systems ground school, FFS sessions, and the practical test to ATP standards, concluded by a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying proficiency. logged sim sessions and oral-prep topics become your interview record — keep them structured. There is no minimum hour requirement in the rule itself — proficiency is the standard — but insurers frequently impose their own minimum dual hours, which is why the running dual-time total here matters beyond the legal endorsement.

FAA additional-training endorsements under 61.31 are one-time — once endorsed, the privilege lasts as long as your certificate. What DOES age is insurability and proficiency: underwriters commonly ask for recency ('hours in make/model in the last 12 months'), and clubs may require re-checkouts after inactivity. The recurrent-practice stage in this log keeps that ongoing story documented alongside the original endorsement.

It varies with background, but common ranges are 5–15 hours for tailwheel, 3–10 for complex or high-performance, and longer for type ratings, which run as full courses. Insurance minimums often exceed the proficiency point — many tailwheel policies want 10 hours dual even if your instructor endorses at 6 — so check your policy before assuming the endorsement alone unlocks solo privileges.

Clearing site data or doing a full browser reset deletes locally stored entries — that is the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or new laptop: re-importing your history later is far easier than reconstructing it from memory.

Yes — one click exports your complete training record as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to an application, or hand it to an examiner, inspector or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.
