Ok, so there I was fallen in love with the DF727, thinking, "thats real flying, I'm gonna switch to the 727 programme" But while the spirit is willing the flesh, and in fact the ability, is lacking!!! That 727 is going to take ALOT more practice before I'd dare carry paying punters on it...and its one thing bending an oleo leg off-line with only the dog watching... but smacking the thing up the tail-pipe of another on-line flier....even I can't afford them sort of bills.... SO. I'll stay with the 757, BUT, I also want to get some time in on the 767 - ya'know for longer range stuff....that and the level D I got for me birthday last month is ITCHIN to be used in anger! So what do I do to add the 767 to my equipment list without switching programmes? - Guess that was a kind of a long way around for a little question, but, well thats me I guess!!

You'll need to pass the 767 First Officer exam and click the Request Additional Ratings link in the Pilot Center. This will prompt Will or me to assign you a checkride. Once you pass the checkride, you'll have your 767 ratings but will still remain in the 757 program.
