 In most cases, a Type Rating covers several aircraft types or variants that are very similar to each other. A good example is the Airbus A320. Anyone who has this type rating in their pocket is also allowed to fly Airbus A318s, A319s and the A321 - just like in reality. **Also during the training several types, which are combined under one type rating, can be flown alternately.** As soon as the required number of hours has been achieved, the type rating is set to the status "fulfilled" in the user settings. Now the pilot can start a new rating if he wants to. How many hours are required for each type rating, which licenses are required and what costs are involved can be found in a separate list.  In most cases, a Type Rating covers several aircraft types or variants that are very similar to each other.

 +==== Example for the acquisition of a type rating with MPL license ====
 +Pilot Otto has caught the FTW fever, flown 250 hours together in a few weeks and thus obtained the MPL license. Now he wants to turn to airliners and acquire a corresponding type rating. His choice falls on the Embraer E-Jets. This requires 10 flying hours, each of which costs 7,500 euros. Since Otto holds a full MPL license, he can choose whether to complete his type rating with an airline or simply rent an aircraft himself. He decides to do the latter because there is an abandoned E170 at his home airport in Hamburg. So he rents it and transports passengers to Frankfurt, for which he is credited with 80,000 euros. In addition to the other costs, he now has to pay a training fee of 7,500 euros. After that, he continues to Munich, from there to Paris and then back to Hamburg, because the deposit should not also reduce the result. Otto then looks in his settings and discovers not only the new entry "E-JET" but also the six flying hours he has just completed. So four more hours are still missing. Nevertheless, that's enough for today and a little variety is needed.

 +==== Example for the acquisition of a medium type rating with PPL-A ====
 +Pilot Ansgar has plenty of experience. He has already worked as a swivel chair pilot for several virtual airlines and is now turning his attention to Fly The World for the first time. Shortly after registering, the first shock follows: PPL-A and the associated Light/SPA. Ansgar, who is used to flying around the virtual globe in Airbuses, Boeings and his beloved MD11, cannot and will not accept the idea of having to switch to piston aircraft for the time being. After all, they only block valuable airspace, clog taxiways and forever occupy the glide path. What's more, the noise gets on his nerves. In short, anything that doesn't reach at least Mach 0.70 and keep aircraft noise opponents happy with 100 decibels at night is not a fully-fledged aircraft in his eyes. 
 +
 +Fortunately, Ansgar is one of the most serious pilots and has read the FTW manual twice in its entirety. That's how he knows that he can fly jets even as a beginner at FTW if he hires an airline to do so. He's not allowed to fly the big widebodies yet, because that requires an ATPL, but he'll settle for 737-800s and A320s for the time being. Since he does not yet have any significant assets, Ansgar quickly asks in the forum whether an airline will pay for his type rating, and just under an hour later he can choose from several offers. He decides on an airline from Stockholm, which owns a Boeing 737-900ER. After a short 
 +
 +agreement, he is allowed to do his type rating there. The only condition is that he must complete at least 20 CH, i.e. fly 20 hours for the airline. Ansgar accepts, rents the jet and begins his training. 
 +
 +After just 12 hours, he is awarded a 737NG type rating. After about 100 hours, Ansgar leaves the airline as a newly qualified first officer with a CPL license to fly in another part of the world. Out of habit, he tries to hire a 737-800, which doesn't work despite his successfully completed type rating, because he is not a member of an airline right now and doesn't yet have an MPL license. Even if he was, he could not just rent any aircraft that is not owned by them. Even the CPL license he has just acquired does him no good when it comes to airliners. So he turns to a Canadian airline whose fleet includes a 737-700. There, he signs on again and continues his career as a first officer.
