Endorsements<\/strong><\/h3><p id=\"ember110\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">One of the most significant advantages of the B1.E license is its flexible approach to type ratings:<\/p><p id=\"ember111\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Group Ratings System<\/strong><\/p><p id=\"ember112\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">For most electric aircraft under 5,700 kg MTOM, the B1.E license enables <strong>group ratings<\/strong>\u2014a practical approach that allows engineers to maintain multiple similar aircraft without requiring individual type endorsements for each model. This system recognizes the relative standardization among smaller electric aircraft designs.<\/p><p id=\"ember113\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Type-Specific Requirements<\/strong><\/p><p id=\"ember114\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Certain aircraft still require dedicated type training:<\/p><ul><li>Complex electric aircraft with

class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">When required, type training follows these guidelines:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Theoretical Component<\/strong>: Minimum 60 hours for aircraft \u2264 5,700 kg<\/li><li><strong>Practical Component<\/strong>: Hands-on training with actual aircraft or high-fidelity simulators<\/li><li><strong>Assessment<\/strong>: Combination of written examinations and practical demonstrations<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"ember119\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-3\"><strong>Transitional Provisions (Valid Until February 2028)<\/strong><\/h3><p id=\"ember120\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">EASA has implemented a transitional arrangement to support the industry&#8217;s evolution:<\/p><p id=\"ember121\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Current B1.1 or B1.2 license holders may obtain type endorsements for electric aircraft without completing the full B1.E qualification, provided:<\/p><ul><li>They have
