GM1 Appendix III Aircraft type training and type evaluation standard — on-the-job training (OJT) Section 1(c)
DIFFERENCES TRAINING If the holder of a B1 and B2 licence, without any type rating, successfully completes a combined type training course (B1 + B2) followed by an OJT tailored only to B1 tasks, they can obtain only the type-rating endorsement that is applicable to the B1 subcategory. Within the next 3 years from the completion of the combined training course, endorsement of the aircraft type for the B2 category is possible after carrying out an OJT programme limited to the tasks relevant to the B2 category only. When instead, the aircraft type endorsement would be requested after more than 3 years, the applicant would be required to also pass a differences type training course (from B1 to B2) plus the OJT programme limited to the tasks relevant to the B2 category only. All common theoretical and practical elements, and OJT tasks, already demonstrated as B1, shall be considered fulfilled.
