- Certificates are broken up into pilot, and Instructor certificates, each with unique privileges and limitations
- Pilot certificates include: student, sport, recreational, private, commercial, airline transport, remote pilot certificates
- Instructor certificates include: flight and ground instructiors
- Additionally, ratings can be placed upon these certificates
- Ratings are numerous, but related to the aircraft flown, most commonly airplanes, rotorcraft, gliders, etc., but may also be specific to an individual aircraft like a 787
