Form 3CT – New Aircraft Class or Type Rating (Fillable PDF)

The Form 3CT is the official CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) document used to notify the authority of a new aircraft class or type rating on an existing Part 61 licence. This form is required whenever a pilot obtains a new rating that is not covered by their current licence.

What Is Form 3CT?

Form 3CT captures essential details such as the aircraft make, model, registration, and the specific class or type rating being added. It ensures that the CASA database stays up‑to‑date with each pilot’s qualifications.

Who Needs to Complete Form 3CT?

• Pilots who have earned a new class rating (e.g., multi‑engine, turbine) on an existing licence.
• Pilots adding a type rating for a specific aircraft model.
• Flight instructors updating their qualifications.
