These include: CASR, differences training, model and variant.\n\n(1) In this instrument:\n\n> AYT means auto yaw trim.\n\n> cell, for a column of a table in Schedule 1 to this instrument, means each individual, undivided unit (regardless of its size) into which the column is subdivided.\n\n> CPDS means centre panel display system.\n\n> DTR means differences training required.\n\n> FE, at the end of a type rating designation, means flight engineer.\n\n> SP, at the end of a type rating designation, means single pilot.\n\n> TF means tactile feedback.\n\n(2) Column 1 of a table in Schedule 1 to this instrument is for general information only and is not intended to qualify or otherwise affect the meaning or operation of anything else in the Schedule.\n\n4 Meaning of variants\n\nWhere the aircraft models mentioned in 1 or more cells of column 2 of a table in Schedule 1 have the same type rating, or ratings, as mentioned in the corresponding cell in column 4, each model is a variant of the other aircraft covered by the type rating.\n\n5 Differences training\n\n(1) For the application of section 6, the abbreviation “DTR” in a cell of column 3 of a table in Schedule 1 corresponding with variants’ cells in column 2, means that, subject to subsection (2), differences training is required for a person to exercise the privileges of the rating in a variant that is different from the variant for which the person first received the type rating.\n\n(2) Differences training is not required for a variant that is in the same cell in column 2 as the variant for which the person first received the type rating.\n\n6 Prescribed type ratings for regulation 142.045 of CASR\n\n(1) For the purposes of paragraph 142.045(a) of CASR, each type rating mentioned in a cell in column 4 of a table in Schedule 1 that is for an aircraft model, or models, mentioned in a corresponding cell in column 2 is prescribed for paragraph (d) of the definition of Part 142 flight training in subregulation 142.015(2) of CASR.\n\n> Note The prescriptions for paragraph 142.015(2)(d) of CASR are of type ratings training for the grant of which is NOT included as Part 142 flight training. As a corollary, for paragraph 141.015(1)(d) of CASR, flight training for the prescribed type ratings is Part 141 flight training.\n\n(2) For the purposes of paragraph 142.045(a) of CASR, each type rating mentioned in a cell in column 4 of a table in Schedule 1 that is for an aircraft model, or models, mentioned in a corresponding cell in column 2 is prescribed for subparagraph (g)(i) of the definition of Part 142 flight training in subregulation 142.015(2) of CASR.\n\n> Note The prescriptions for subparagraph 142.015(2)(g)(i) of CASR are of type ratings for which certain differences training for a variant covered by the type rating is NOT included as Part 142 flight training. As a corollary, for subparagraph 141.015(1)(g)(i) of CASR, differences training for the prescribed type ratings is Part 141 flight training.\n\nSchedule 1 Prescribed type ratings for Part 142 of CASR\n\n> Note 1 See sections 4 and 5, and subsections 6(1) and (2).\n\n> Note 2 The effect of the aircraft type rating prescriptions in this Schedule is that training for the type ratings, and differences training for variants, is not Part 142 flight training, but is Part 141 flight training.\n\nPart 1 — Aeroplane type ratings\n\n```html\n
