Type Rating机型等级
A type rating is a certification or endorsement that allows a pilot or remote operator to operate a specific aircraft type or family of types requiring additional type-specific knowledge. In pilot licenses, training records, and operator qualification documents, it appears as a distinct qualification beyond a general category or class rating, tied to type-specific systems, procedures, limitations, and flight characteristics.

Where this term appears
This term appears in pilot licensing documentation, training course descriptions, simulator session records, and crew qualification matrices. Translators encounter it when localizing regulatory definitions, logbook entries, and training certificates, where type rating must be distinguished from category, class, and instrument rating. It also appears in lease or insurance documentation describing required crew qualifications.
Translation checks
A frequent error is translating “type rating” as a score or rating scale, such as “型号评级,” rather than a license endorsement. That misrepresents a qualification as an evaluation and causes confusion in training and regulatory documents where the term carries specific licensing meaning. It is also sometimes confused with type certificate, but certification of an aircraft design differs from certification of a pilot.
