Subsequently once you have your PPL, to get another type is just the usual few hours flying conversion training, not type technical exam required.
What kind of questions do they ask in Type Techical exam? Plus I checked it's 1 1/2 hours exam!
Worst part is, there is no circular about this!
Of course u need to pass the type tech exam for every type of aircraft u are gonna fly. It's been like this all along. However, some flying schools conduct the exam on their own (in-house).
Expect questions such as limitations, systems, speeds, spec, the usual stuff. Don't worry about the time, you will be out from the exam hall long before that.
