Well sorta in the USA:
Type & category
Single Engine Land
Multi Engine Land
Single Engine Sea
Multi Engine Sea

you get the idea.

You need a log book endorsement for complex aircraft tailwheel- Unless
you're old -
Now in practice if you want to fly MY airplane, Rated or not I want to see
how you can fly it before I let you go.
you do need a type rating for a turbojet power aircraft


Yeah, I knew about that side of it, but that's a broader view of what I
mean.
I didn't think I could jump from a Skyfox into say a Drifter without some
training. (legally I'm talking). Now, not many places rent Drifters, so how
does someone get to be able to fly one, if nobody hires them?
Maybe I'm thinking there are more restrictions than there in fact are. I'll
wait and check it out at the school in a few weeks. Thanks guys.
