Simultaneous timing of several pulsars distributed over the sky, so called Pulsar Timing Array (PTA), is used for a variety of metrological and astronomical applications. Three examples of PTA application are presented: link between celestial reference frames, ensemble pulsar time scale and detection of gravitational waves.
