I figured something like this has to work out it's kinks.
When I left the office I was under the impression that the requirements to satisfy were nebulous, that I better go loaded for bear next time and bring a rabbits foot and a Las Vegas attitude on getting the rating added.
Unfortunately, the guidance material published by the FAA seems to neglect giving example of a type-rating based on foreign type or training. Nothing new-- the FAR's have always seemed to be based on that anything outside of the USA is a big vacuum.
If anybody has had specific experience with the Miami or Scottsdale FSDO's I would love to hear from you.
