有Boeing 747, AS332 L2两种机型型号等级

In addition to having the relevant pilot's license, pilots obtain ratings on different aircraft types which indicate that they are familiar with the particularities of that aircraft and have proven competency in piloting it. A type rating (型号等级) is normally obtained by undergoing training on the new aircraft type with an instructor or a check and training pilot. So the sentence in question indicates that this person has an ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot's License) and, in addition, already has type ratings on the Boeing 747 and the AS332.
Example sentence:

所有的A320系列飞机都拥有同样的型号等级,飞行员只需参加一种机型的培训
