Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) recently approved several light jets and helicopters for single-pilot type-rating authorization.&nbsp;To obtain single-pilot approval, pilot candidates must complete special training and meet experience rules. Additionally, aircraft for which a single-pilot type rating is requested must meet certain requirements.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 


Airplanes newly added to the single-pilot list are eligible models of the Raytheon 390 Premier 1; Eclipse EA500; Embraer Phenom 100 and 300; Cessna Citation 500/525/550 and 560; and the Pilatus PC-24.
