I have recently passed the Pilot exams for the 727 and 737. There is no exam for the757 at this time. How do I get the additional ratings and my Captains designation. I have read the documentation but don't fully understand what else I have to do other than sending emails.

Thanks

Since you already are a 757 First Officer you need 10 flights in that type then take the 757 Captains test.

I have the flights but there is currently no 757 test available.

John,

Did you take the 757 Captain's test beforehand (before reaching 10 flights?) Does it say above Testing Center - you are eligibile for promotion to CAPTAIN?

Lemme know if it helps.

Cheers!

If it says Captains Test not written - don't be faked out - look under the testing tab to see the list of tests you are eliigible - 757 Captain should be there.

Is my face red!!! There is a 757 exam in spite of the message. I should take it in a day or so. Also discovered that I did not quite pass the 737 and 727 exams. Need to work on my METARS and Approach Chart reading. Maybe some question reading also.

Learning a new VA is so stressful (well maybe not like REAL stress). Guess it would be like changing from Delta to a pilot for Air France.

I've found that using both the FAA's website as well as searching google can find nearly any answer you may need. Best of luck!
