an aeroplane if:
 (a) under the operator's AOC, the operator operates aeroplanes of more than one type rating for Part 121 operations; and
 (b) the operator assigns, or is likely to assign, a flight crew member employed by the operator to duty on aeroplanes of more than one type rating.

121.525  Assignment of flight crew to aeroplanes of different type ratings
  The operator's exposition must include the following:
 (a) a description of the circumstances in which the operator may assign a flight crew member to duty on aeroplanes of more than one type rating;
 (b) the combinations of aeroplanes with different type ratings that a single flight crew member may be assigned to duty on by the operator;
 (c) the flying experience, checks and training that a flight crew member must gain or complete, while the flight crew member is employed by the operator, before being assigned to duty on aeroplanes of more than one type rating;
 (d) procedures to ensure that, if a flight crew member is assigned to duty on aeroplanes with different type ratings within one tour of duty, the flight crew member has adequate time between flights on aeroplanes with different ratings for the flight crew member to prepare for duty.

121.530  Credit for checks, qualifications, training and experience
 (1) Subregulation (2) applies if an operator holds an approval under regulation 121.010 in relation to:

 (3) CASA may grant an approval mentioned in subregulation (1) only if satisfied that:
 (a) the check, qualification, training or experience for an aeroplane of the first type rating is sufficiently similar to the check, qualification, training or experience for an aeroplane of the second type rating; and
 (b) an aeroplane of the first type rating and second type rating are sufficiently similar in relation to:
 (i) their level of technology; and
 (ii) their operational procedures; and
 (iii) their handling characteristics.
