I have an FAA commercial certificate with ASEL, AMEL, ASES, Glider and Instrument ratings (alongside specific type ratings). What additional certificate or rating will require the shortest amount of training to add?

It could be anything from sport pilot through ATP certificate, for any class: weight shift, multi engine seaplane, gyro-copter etc.

  • $\begingroup$ Just curious, why are you asking? Why the desire to add something to your license quickly? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Does a Part 107 certificate count? You could get it in a day just by doing the knowledge test but it's a separate certificate, not an add-on to an existing one, so it might not be what you're looking for. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ After thinking some more I've voted to close this as unclear because I'm not sure what you consider a valid answer. E.g. you could get Part 107 or Ground Instructor with only written tests, but is that what you mean? Or are you asking about something that gives you more flight privileges? And what about your hours and experience? Is there an 'easy' type rating in an aircraft that you have prior experience in? Do you have enough hours for ATP already? Maybe private balloon (10hrs training) is closest to what you're asking, but I'm really not sure. $\endgroup$
