Yeah, it's complicated. That's why you need...
Ground
School
For
anyone pursuing an L-39 Type Rating, the L-39 Ground School is a
must. Academic
training will follow our FAA approved syllabus. It will generally
take two to three days. This training will
include classroom instruction, aircraft tours and extensive
over-the-shoulder cockpit checkouts. The areas of study
are listed below. An L-39 Flight Manual
(Dash One) is available for your study ($49.95 plus s&h.)

Flight
Training
If you just want to scratch that Jet Itch, there
are no prerequisites. Just call us to book your
orientation flight.
To qualify for an Additional Authorization (Type Rating) you
must have at least 1000 hours logged as Pilot in Command.
There are no other requirements other than the practical test
(check ride.) How long does training take? We have seen
training times from 1.5 hours flight time (no kidding, one
flight) to 42 hours. Our average seems to
be 5-10 for current pilots proficient in high performance
aircraft. You must demonstrate proficiency in all phases of
flying the aircraft to ATP standards. Once you're ready, we will
arrange for a FAA Designated Examiner to give you your check ride
and request the issuance of a type rating to you in the L-39C.
