I'm just curious what kind of ratings and endorsements everyone has. We post a lot about the aviation industry but not a lot about what's going on personally.
I have: Airplane Single Engine land (working on commercial single add-on) Commercial: Airplane Multiengine land Instrument - airplane Complex endorsement I'm also working towards a CFI and looking to get the CFII soon after. Wednesday I'll be starting my tail wheel endorsement as well. I want to hear some obscure ones like ATP Single Engine Sea, or something like it

ATP, CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, IGI, 4 types, 1500 Turbine PIC, LCA letter.
I'd like a glider rating, SES, rotorcraft rating and LTA, along with a DC3, Jetstar or LR-Jet type. |

I want to fly so bad I can taste it. I've worked on airplanes since 1988 and got my Private in 2001. Spent a semester working on Instrument but never took the check rides due to lack of money.
I have a current II class Medical and retook the Instrument written and passed the commercial and multi writtens, just need the flight hours.....it's a mother getting there. I want to do float planes/amphibs eventually. |

PPL and TW endorsement.
I wouldn't mind having other ratings particularly a commercial for a couple reasons. Instrument, multi and complex would be nice at some point but don't need any of them for 99% of the flying I do. |

ATP, Commercial SEL privileges, CFI, CFII, MEI, a couple of old bizjet types, one modernish airliner type.
Next will be tailwheel, then eventually seaplane and glider. I'd love to do rotorcraft, but probably won't. Too much money with no practical reason for me to do it. |

Worked on Rotorcraft but the heliflopter was sold; like to add glider someday |

I have:
Commercial Airplane single engine Commercial multi engine land. Instrument CFI-S Complex, high performance, high altitude endorsements. 155 turbine in a PC-12, which is what I currently fly. 787tt, currently flying 85-95 hours a month. Was flying out of ATL, now DFW. Got my private in September 2013. |

ATP multi, commercial single, CFI, CFII, MEI and several type ratings. I was lucky enough to have the Air Force to pay for it all.
Now that I have the GI bill burning a hole in my pocket, I've been thinking about using it to get a helicopter or seaplane rating. (I might actually use a helicopter license, I have some time, but never finished my private) Or, maybe a type rating in a DC3/Super Constellation or something fun like that. There's a dude where I work who's hobby is to collect type ratings. He has multiple pilot certificate cards to fit them all on.

ATP multi. Commercial single. L382 type.
Endorsements for conventional gear (tailwheel), glider tow. There might be some sign-off for aerial application in my log book. It was so long ago I don't remember. Radio operators license. High performance, high altitude, instrument, English of course. I'd like to get a new type, and the new job that goes with it. 747 probably. For fun I'd like to get a glider license and SES. |

Just as well, I really didn't want to do IMC circle approaches in big airplanes anyway.
The F27 sim was ancient, you could do a 'circle maneuver' if you were very careful with your headings and timing, but had no resemblance to an actual circle approach. |

I would just like to get back to flying private pilot. It's been almost 15 years since I've last flown anything. Just too many other distractions and expenses. Plus trying to find an FAA doctor for the medical part. Do the allow any doctor to sign off on PP medicals now? All they ever did was check your eyesight, pulse, and shine a light through your ears to see if it came out the other side. I have no interest in ATP or commercial upgrades.

All they ever did was check your eyesight, pulse, and shine a light through your ears to see if it came out the other side. I have no interest in ATP or commercial upgrades. It has to be an AME. They also submit the paperwork and then print out the medical certificate right there. One of my local AME's is also a normal doctor also, some are just AME's. Here is the website to find one some in your area. FAA AME search ETA: you should get up there again. There have been done cool advances in technology since you've been flying. Get some flight hours, take a flight review and start flying every couple weeks.

ATP LR-JET, BE-300, DA-50, CL-60
I actually got asked in an interview (for a corporate job by the chief pilot) once..."I see here Mr. Jetlag you have an ATP but I don't see anywhere that you have an instrument rating....you do have an instrument rating don't you?" It was a clue to the rest of the operation. The chief pilot had a PPL and a BE-300- type rating on it. No shit.

I'm too old and too Caucasian to earn an ATC certificate under the current hiring rules, I had no idea they got blue cards too. Now, sometime in the next 10 years I'll start building an RV. Quoted:
