I'm curious if the DHC-8-Q400 rating will be a primary or secondary rating. Does it fall under the EMB-120 program? If I join the EMB-120 program, will I be rated for both the 100 and the 400?

Ok, so it's a primary rating for stages 1-3...

Alan, Since you started in a Stage 3 program, you never were in a Stage 1 or 2 program. I believe if you request and receive the rating in a stage 1 or 2 program, you'll be able to request additional ratings and receive the Dash-8.

Hi, thanks for the responses. I noticed in my Addition Ratings menu I have the 757-200 and the 737-800 listed. Since I already have these ratings, I'm assuming these two entries are for the Q-400.
