Aircraft ratings from other countries endorsed onto SA licence

Hi guys,

I have thousands of hours on C206, C210, BE58, BE20 etc, flown in Botswana. Does anybody know if I can get these ratings endorsed onto my SA ATPL?

Thanks

Nope

Nope, not unless you did the type rating / endorsement on your SA license...

I'm not so sure that an application to the Flight Crew Licensing might not be worth a shot but you'd need the name of the right man on whose desk you wanted the stuff to land.

I think you'd need.

A letter of motivation explaining why you should be exempted the local type rating examinations and flight tests. If you were checked out in Botswana by a South African rated instructor then that's the sort of plus point that might help.

A letter from anyone you know in SA aviation who could attest to the qualifications of whoever typed you in Botswana.

Certified copies of all your licence/s, medicals and type rating pages.
Certified copy of your logbook and relevant type rating endorsement check rides.
Certified copies of your 1179s or ground technical results.
Certified couple of photographs.
A note requesting the required fee for such an exemption.

Allow about three to six months for a response.

Alternatively, you could get hold of the simulator mob at FAGC and ask them if their sim is certified for initial type ratings. Perhaps you'd just need a multi, a single and a turbine check amalgamated into one?

Seek and ye shall find - perhaps and perchance.

Good luck.

When I converted my FAA license, with TZ and Kenyan as well, they took all the aircraft in my logbook and put it on my license. Including all variations, so a BN2 rating also included the BN2T, and all BE types (90, 100, 200, 350 and 1900), although I only had one type in the log book!
