Does the Dash 8 require a seperate rating than the EMB-120. I was going to fly an ACARS flight using the Dash 8 and it said I was not rated in it. What do I have to do to be able to fly it?

The Dash-8 is a standard, default aircraft rating granted to all that are hired into DVA. Some pilot profiles do not reflect the aircraft rating. We apologize for the oversight. Should you desire to fly the Dash-8 and don't have the rating please contact your Chief Pilot or a member of management.

Brian,

I've updated your pilot profile to include the the Dash-8.
